Yorkies are typically quite hard to housetrain...so don't give up hope. the dog is still very young. I do not know many people that use newspaper so I'm not sure if that's a great method or not (most people crate train or use pads).
For the hyperness, that's typical for the breed/age. Make sure the dog gets plenty of exercise and has toys/chews to keep busy. You might also look in to obedience classes (could also help with building confidence) |
