I also have a 11wk. yorkie and am trying to pooty train. My last yorkie I potty trained to go outside and that was veryhard . I lost him about 3wks ago. to a car accident.He was a year and 1 month old and I learned his bm habits so I knew when to take him out for that but I constantly had to take him out about every 2-3 hr or he would have an accident. I thought he had come a long way though. This Baby I think I'm going to pad train. I got her a x-pen and keep her food and water andjbed in one end and a potty pad in the other . She sleeps in a crate by our bed at night and when she cries at night I take her out and put her in her pen on her pad and she goes and I praise her. we've had her for 2 wks this has worked well. No accidents in the crate but I have to take her to her pen every time she cries . We really just have to watch for her potty signals other than that. The pen has a gate we leave open when she's out and she actually made a mad dash for her pen last night and pooped on her potty pad. Couse she's also had an accident today but she'll learn. Anyway I really love this pen and wish I had tried this with my first yorkie.She stay in the pen when we work or just when we can't watch her I use it as I would a playpen for a baby.
