Welcome to YT Dawnn. Congratulations for your new baby Bella.

She is very young, so you likely have many more weeks of potty training ahead of you. Save the newspaper for reading. Positive reinforcement will yield much better results.

Being so young, your baby needs to potty often. Think of a human newborn...babies often need their diapers changed every hour.

Limit your pup's freedom of movement in your home so that you can supervise her closely. Do not give her more freedom until her potty habits improve.

When she goes potty in the correct place, praise her profusely. Use keywords and phrases, "Good potty! Good girl," pet her and give her a small treat. Make the treat something that she only gets for a good potty.

Never stop giving praise for good potty habits. Do not scold for accidents.

Here is a great thread to read: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tra...nts-house.html

There are many more in the training section. Hope some of this helps.
