Hi there! I am new to the forum and to yorkies as well. We got a male yorkie, his name is Zeus and he is 5.5 months old. He is the cuddliest puppy ever! Loves, loves, loves to be held, loved and we are loving it. But.... his potty training is a different story... I had a s**t-zhu before and trained her to go outside since day 1 with Zeus it has been a challenge since day 1. He refuses to go outside most of the time and as soon as I get in he will go ONLY in his crate. I have the divider and his space is small but he still goes in there. I read somewhere (a book I think) than once a yorkie gets this habit is impossible to house train him/her, is this true? This is my first yorkie so I am not familiar with the breed.

What can I do to help him potty outside constantly?

Some info about him... We bought him from a puppy place and yes he did pee and poop in his cage while at that lace. They had the cages that everything "falls" down and then they clean it. Does that has something to do with it?

Also at night we place him on his crate and he screams, whines and barks the whole night. We are going crazy between both situations... So as you can see we need some help, advice and encouragement that this will pass some day, soon?
