Been right where you are! I do the hourly things literally for weeks and then start to incrementally increase the times in between and still watch the dog every moment he's walking around. Getting him out often will WAY decrease his accidents and set him up for success. You just have to accept that to housebreak a Yorkie, you have to change your life for a while now in order to ingrain the idea in his brain and make lots of pathways of habit that later in life, he will NEVER vary from. It is worth the sacrifice now to later have a totally reliable, clean-in-the-house dog.
