Nancy1999 and others have given very good advice that should be helpful to you. Yorkies are known for being hard to housetrain, so be really patient.
I didn't crate train any of mine, used a playpen at first then an x-pen and pads cause they'd pee every half hour the first month or so. However, crate training does work well if done right.
This pup is too young and has a very tiny bladder, so leaving her in a crate beyond her ability to hold she is going to have to potty, and she just might get used to being in her own pee etc. and become even harder to train. Just my opinion, but I'd be concentrating on creating a cozy bed area with a separate area (pad) for potty. |
