The bell I would just ring ever time you take her out. Soon she will get bell rings door opens. Good luck. One thing make sure she is eating and drinking most important thing when coming home..
Very Good Advice, the only thing I would add is Let her walk, With Yorkies and other small breeds we tend to carry them far too much. They need the exercise and to learn to walk with us. Put a soft harness on her and a leash and walk her to the preselected potty area. When I was first potty training the puppies, I actually marked the area with a pee pad. I tacked it down with landscape stakes, the U shaped ones (cheap at Lowes)
