Ok, I know this goes against current popular belief but with Blazer, when I didn't catch him having an accident and didn't show it to him, just cleaned it up, it would happen again. When I would show him his mess, tell him "NO!" and take him immeadiately outside, tell him "Go potty!" then praise him, he stopped having accidents. I don't agree that dogs don't understand what they are getting in trouble for. They know their own scent, they know their own puddles and piles. If they are being trained to potty outside and you show them a mistake they made inside I think they know and they learn. Yorkies are notoriously smart dogs.
