Welcome to YT. IMO Yorkies are normally not housebroken in just two weeks. Some maybe, some longer, some never. Yorkies can be difficult IMO in this area.

Yorkies normally don't like to be left alone. Of course it's impossible to be with them 24/7 minute by minute so a enclosed area to offer safety and comfort is helpful. Possibly a kitchen, bathroom, kennel, x-pen.

Young pups should NOT have free run of the house.
Regarding the stairs, this is where an enclosed area is needed. Safety and comfort, #1 priority with a Yorkie.

Even short cut Yorkies need grooming. They need to have their anal glands expressed, nails clipped, bathed/conditioned/brushed/etc. Normally every 6 weeks is how often I have my fur kids groomed by a professional. At home I bath them once a week.

Yorkies are very bonded to their owners. They LOVE to be with you.

Exersize is needed for Yorkies. Running around the house or outside being supervised is great. Yorkies need a lot of rest though too, especially being young pups.

Good luck.
