I gave it a year for Jilly and Tibbe and each was thoroughly housebroken, clean in the house. To me, a Yorkie needs that long a reinforcement period in order to really get the training fully ingrained for life. Tibbe has had 3 accidents when ill with GI problems but those are his ONLY infractions. He has never peed in the house since his training began. Without the long training period, there is a tendency toward recidivism in small dogs so I didn't want to take a chance. We just kept training for a year.
