i understand completely about the cold...i just got my 9 week old yorkie 2 days ago and he is being litter trained also except im using puppy pads at first he laid on them but today whn i woke up i put in the litter box and said goo potty he didnt do it then he drank some water thn i put him back in ther and said go potty then he did it i praised him then he took a nap i woke him up and put him in it and say go potty so i believe if we keep it up and keep puttin him in there after meals and playin and wakin up he will get the drift..
