While this all sounds normal to me, you might want to make sure she doesn't have an infection of some kind. When she gets a clean bill of health it will probably take awhile before she can hold it long enough to make the training worthwhile.

Furthermore, the problem with potty training Yorkie's isn't the breed, it's the size. To a Yorkie a home is so big they can easily make a part of the house their bathroom and it won't both them at all, at least that's what a trainer told me.

We went to the vet yesterday for shots and I asked and they said puppy's will drink out of boredom and to maybe not let her have too much water. While it sounds cruel to me she does drink a ton.

I jut want to make sure I am giving her enough playing/crate time for it to be effective.
