I am new here so if this topic (or similar) has already been covered I apologize (I didn't see a thread with a similar title when I looked).

I am looking at adopting a two year old male Yorkie from a local shelter. I am a long time dog lover but have never owned a Yorkie.

My one hesitation is that he is not house trained. I have heard that Yorkies can be difficult to house train and I am wondering if anyone can confirm or deny that Yorkies are more difficult to house train that other breeds?

Also, if anyone has any tips on training a young, but not baby, Yorkie it would be greatly appreciated.
