Hi all,

This is my first yorkie puppy, and he's 11 weeks old, and I got him on friday. Here in Indiana, it's pretty cold, with snow on the ground, and I'm working on crate trainning Tomato. He does not appreciate the cold! I know it's bad for them to be out in it all the time, but I know that 10-15 minutes won't do him any harm. The problem I've been having is that he won't go outside when it's cold. I'm going to try and leave him in his crate longer, so that he HAS TO GO before I take him out, because this often works overnight. Do any of you have ideas on how to make him go in the cold? I will not paper train him in the house, regardless of how cold it is- that's just not going to happen in my tiny studio apartment.

thanks!
