[BustersMom13]

I know what you mean about feeling like a newborn mother lol! ... My boyfriend and I just got our first Yorkie almost 2 months ago and he was 10 weeks old when we got him. It's really trial and error with the potty training I think. We took Buster out every hour when we first got him. When he went potty outside we gave him a treat (a piece of his food). Since then he has started going to the door and crying or scratching at it when he has to go so he is catching on! There has been the occasional accidents but he is making great progress! We are also crate training Buster. He is getting a lot better with that too! There were some bad nights and some sleep was lost but it's getting better everyday. He's to the point now where he knows thats where he sleeps and when he is tired he walks in on his own and lays down. Potty/crate training can get frustrating at times but just remember he's only a baby and it gets better! I hope that sharing my personal experiences I've had with my Buster helps a bit. Congrats on your new addition and welcome to YT! It really is a great little online community!
