hey all,

we've just gotten ourselves a Toy Yorkie, Coco Puff. probably the most adorable dog we've ever seen, we bought it over from the ex owner just last week. this also means that Coco Puff will have to be re-trained indoors. She's just over a year old now.

we've been keeping vigil on Coco over the last few days, but assuming that she is still trying to get used to her new environment, she's been pooping and peeing at various places in the house. she's so quick when she's gotta go, especially when i'm brushing my teeth, that the moment, she's out of sight for a few minutes, she has relieved herself. our question is how long do we expect to be able to successfully potty train our little Yorkie? how can we expedite the process?

2nd question: after feeding time, how long can we expect Coco to "go"? we thought it was 15-30 minutes. but it has been various times that she chose to go. last night, she decided to poop about 5 hours after dinner. we got worried for a while, kept keeping her at the designated "go" zone for a while but she didn't wanna go.

3rd question: do they pee and poop usually at the same place? Coco has done so separately and we're kinda puzzled.

any advice would be much appreciated!
