it took me almost 6 months to train cedric and then he started marking. at almost 9 months he was neutered and he is now fully trained. i still tell him what a good boy he is when i see him coming off of his pee pad. you have to watch them....and watch them and watch them. when you see them going on the floor you pick them up and sternly say no potty on the floor potty on the pad while placing them on the pad. when they finish you give major praise. i never used treats because i felt it was necessity for him to potty in the right place. but i tell you when you make a big deal and say what a good boy for going on your potty pads well hes the proudest lil guy around! be sure your cleaning accidents with an enzyme spray as to be sure to get rid of the odor completely. which you might already be doing just wanted to be sure. it takes a lot of time, consistency, positive praise and patience and i would not make them wait all day to pee. that is just too long for a yorkie to go. i hope your husband comes to understand yorkies are very smart and with the proper reinforcement they will pick it up it just takes time. good luck i hope it works out.
