Okay, I admit it... I am not perfect. Actually, when it came to house training my Yorkie, I was far from it! She was going to be 1 year old on Dec. 18, and was 50% trained. I just didn't know how to train her because she was alone for 8 hours of the day.
In a few months, I will be getting another Yorkie. Unfortunately for me, we are getting our house recarpeted at around the same time! That could be bad.
From 7-3, there is generally no one home. I know the basics about house training a dog- crates and confined areas, but I was always such a softy about confining my baby! (And she was such a well, BABY about it!)
But I can't let that happen this time, so what I am looking for are specifics. What times, how long, what to do when I am home and she is roaming, etc. REALLY, I have no objections to you being as specific as you can...

Thank you!
