Hi welcome from pouring with rain , cold , Scotland. I use pads indoors the girls use these if they need to go but also go outdoors when I take them out. I train them to a command mine is "toilet" when I take them out I say the word and they squat to pee or poop. All my dogs use this command. The pads are great for says like today when the wind and rain are too much for us all lol. As for barking at the door, this is pretty much a natural response from yorkies but Lily didn't start barking till she was about 4 months or more. Now at 5 1/2 months barks at any noise or movement outside the house. I'm trying to train her to bark a few times then stop.
