Default potty training

after your boo is old enough to start training here's how I did it....
1. realize that when you have a little Yorkie-- mine is almost 5lbs and pretty much full grown-- you have to understand that their bladders are tiny tiny tiny, accidents will happen.
2. only use one pee pad, having more is confusing
3. the first time he/she pees on the carpet, soak it up and squeeze it out on the pad (gross i know but I didn't have the heart for crate training)
4. be consistent put the pee on the pad until he/she learns to put it there themselves.
5 don't get upset, they don't speak english, mistakes are ok.
I do agree with everyone and hope you took the time before bringing the pup home.
teaching the dog @ 6 weeks will be really hard, so be sweet bc you don't want the puppy to associate your frustration with who you are.
