Consistency and patience will go a long way in potty training. Initially I took mine out on the hour every hour...then at 11 pm and during the middle of the night...out again at 530am and then on the hour.
Having him neutered will help in preventing an issue with marking inside.
Like your puppy's name. I have a Reggie also. |

Your baby is very young and too young to be away from it's mother, so you will need to watch him closely for a while. I would take him to a vet and make sure he's okay for now. He's still young and has to be kept away from other dogs and parks untill he's had all of his puppy shots and that will take a while. Make sure he's eating and drinking. Young Yorkies are subject to low blood sugar. Get him neutered and you should not have marking problems. I'd do this as soon as the vet says he's ready.
What did you name him? |

You're off to a goos start with this advice/info. Like someone else mentioned, your pup is far to young to be away from his mother. You might want to have some nutrical on hand in case his sugar drops. Do a quick YT search on hypoglycemia and you'll find tons of information on it.
