Move the pad to where she goes most.... that way she'll be doing it right most of the time! She knows that's the way out of the kitchen so that may be a good sign for when you train her to go outside. She'll figure out where the door is quickly!
Never tell a Yorkie 'No' when potty training. They are too smart and won't get that you mean 'No, not here'. They will think that 'No' means don't potty anywhere! So catch her pottying on the pad, and praise her and give a treat.... Ignore all accidents. Watch her so you can learn her signals too. That'll speed up the training some. Good LucK!
