I don't use potty pad for mine. I believe dogs should potty outside.
That being said you can't leave a puppy especially a yorkie for 8 hrs and not expect her to not need to go potty. Mine rarely need to hold it more than 4 hours during the day. My parents or brother watch my dogs when I go to work. Is there anyone that can take her out 1-2 times while you are at work? If not could you hire a dog walker?
I used a portable baby play pen for mine during potty training. I got an x-pen when Cozy had her 1st litter- Great with a litter of puppies- Kept them out of trouble. I also would teether my pups to me when housebreaking.
Set her up for success not failure. I have spend many an hour outside in the pouring rain waiting for puppy to potty. |
