Nine months is a little young to be fully trained for a Yorkie. Is he neutered? Are you sure he isn't marking? Marking is different than peeing and has nothing to do with a full bladder. An unneutered male feels compelled to mark his territory. If he isn't neutered, you should get him neutered ASAP before marking becomes an established habit.
