DJ is only six weeks old, half the age Yorkie puppies are supposed to be when they go to their new homes. He will whine, cry, poop and pee because he is still such a tiny baby. Sleeplessness will be a way of life for quite awhile.
His bladder is so tiny he probably has to urinate every half an hour or so potty training will be very challenging. Every time he potties in the wrong place, it sets potty training back because he thinks it's okay to do so. The smell will also get into your carpet so he will be attracted back to the same spots.
Some people have been successful with using a little carrier with a blanket placed on a nightstand where the puppy can see them. You are still going to have to get up with him often, though. He's just so young.
I would not want to be in your shoes. |
