Hi, My name is Steve and I'm new to YorkieTalk. I got my Yorkie puppy, Brownie, on the past Sat from a breeder. The first 2 days, he was fine and know how to potty on the training pad (Simple Solution Training Pad from Petsmart). After that, he starts potty on the carpet and the tile even the training pad is next to him. I put him on the training pad when he starts sniffing around, but from his reaction (scratching & biting the training pad), it seem like he hates it. I also take him out to potty whenever I'm home from work which that didn't really works. He was either walking back toward me or lay down chewing the grass. Should I take Brownie out more often so he get familiar with the grass area?

My work hours are pretty long, I'm pretty much gone from 6:30am and home at 6:30pm. I usually put him in his play area which is fenced with a blanket/toys/food/water on one side and training pad on the other. When Im back home, most of the time his poop is everywhere. And he is really aggressive/hyper when I'm playing with him. I can understand that is because he was home alone for long period of time. But sometime he is too aggressive that he bite my fingers/toes and I use the word "ouch" "out" like the training guide said, didn't really work. It seem like he is afraid of my hand, cause whenever I take him out from his play area, he try to walk back and not letting me take him out.

I'm getting a little frustrated here. Anyone here has experience similar problems with their puppies?
