We're curious, how often do Yorkies need to pee during the day? Ours is 8 months old and between 3-4 lbs. We leave him in the kitchen with a peepad while we're at work. We'd like to train him to go outside only because he keeps missing the peepad and it's gross. (He likes to stand with his back paws on the pad and his front paws on the floor so he misses often.)

Is it possible for Yorkies to hold it that long? Or are we stuck with peepads? Another idea is getting a doggie door and letting him let himself out but we live in the mountains and aren't comfortable with the wildlife that could be out there.

Thanks.
