Hi folks! My first post and I'm adding to this already long thread!

I have a one year old Yorkie female named Harlow. I am not new to Yorkies and have had a difficult time house breaking all of them. However Harlow seems to be the hardest or maybe it just feels that way.

I work at home but am extremely busy.
Our schedule has been consistent however I am not having success.

She goes out first thing in the morning and comes in. That's either between 6 or 7. She goes out every two hours after that. I'm very methodical because I even set an alarm so I remember and don't get too caught up in work. She also goes out a little bit after eating.

I've purchased the book in the first post and I hope it helps.
Nigh time she is fine. She does not go to the bathroom or she runs to the bathroom where I have a piddle pad.

During the day when I am working, she pees anywhere and everywhere. She has piddle pads available and that's with every two hours breaks to go outside and pee. I even bring out a treat so when she pees, I praise her and hand her a treat immediately.

This was working for a bit but it seems she is regressing. At this point, I'm pretty sure my carpet is marked and a professional cleaning is needed. Perhaps after that do you think I will have better luck?

Since the book has not arrived, should I be placing her in a crate and starting over?

Thanks,
Linda
