When I got Prissy I was working then and we crate trained her and that is how we house broke Jasmine also. I was able to come home on my lunch break and let Prissy out for potty break, I don't know if that is an option for you or not. The crate training worked very well for us with both our girls. We did not use pads with either one of them, and we always used the same one word command for them to potty when ever we took them outside. When ever they potty outside we praise, praise, praise them and they always responded to that. I know a lot of people use treats when their furbabies potty on command but we chose not too, but that is an individual decision. We always keep food and water in their crates at all times and take the girls out every hour when we were at home during house training. It took our poodle about 5 months and our yorkie 10 1/2 months before being house broke. There are alot of people on here with alot of good advice that will be able to help you. I know it can be very frustrating and takes a lot of patience and no one way is the right way for everyone, but when your furbaby is housebroke...........it will be soooooooooooo worth all the time and effort. Good luck!
