It took me several months and lots of talking to other Yorkie owners to finally train Prince. Trust me I've thought of giving up to. But that's the worst thing you could do because every dog is smart and just needs the proper guidance. Dont insult his intelligence by quitting because that's just going to ruin your relationship with him. My relationship with Prince has became a lot stronger after the training process. He doesnt have it 100% down yet but he tries. Please don't give up on your baby because you are all he's got. Take the other poster's advice and give him a little more time outside. You may want to train him to go indoors. If you decide to do that, I can give you lots of advice because I had to try many methods to train Prince since he was older and had free run of the house, which is very bad. However in 2 months he knew what he had to do. Dollar wants to please you remember that. Prince also knows when he does mistakes and runs, but I catch him and tell him in a firm tone that was very bad and hit his hiney lightly and make believe I'm weeping. He hates to see me weeping. You need to observe Dollar and see what he likes and doesnt like so that you can use it to your advantage in training him. Hope this helps!!!! Prince and I wish you luck.
