I literally keep an eye on my puppy at all times. Once I see him doing his little sniffing and circling I call him over to where I want him to go - on the pee pads. Once he goes on the pee pad I then reward him with a little treat. This may sound funny but I congradulate him "good boy" with a very high pitch voice. If you catch your dog doing it where she is not suppose to - you have to at exactly that time - yell at her - BAD - and make a loud clap sound. You may want to even put her away somewhere as a punishment. But I think yorkies react very well to treats and praise. Its also a matter of habit. If she has been going to the same place every time - this is a habit - and she will go there again - unless you catch her in the act and yell at her. Also, you have to make sure there is no scent left behind - or else - everything you do is for nothing.
