I had a very hard time training my Yorkie also. I think she was 1 1/2 before she finally got the drift that pee and poo goes outside. She is now 2 1/2 and I will still once in a while find little presents. My vet kept insisting I needed to crate train her but that was a disaster from the begining cause she went number 1 and 2 while in it and that was gross and got old real quick when everytime I walked in the door I had to give the dog a bath. The crate was not to big either cause I heard "oh its to big for her then" NOPE people she's just a little mentally challenged. Have you tried going out and watching her and praising her when she goes then giving her a treat? I think that helped Misti. Good luck and don't give up I have heard from several people these dogs are hard to train. Just be glad she's not a big Lab who leaves huge logs and lakes on your carpet.
