I have a 12-13 wks yorkie. I had him since 10 wks. He is paper trained but when we first got him he would pee in different area of my kitchen (thats the only area I let him run around). I do have x-pen for him with his pad on one side n puppy pad on the other side. No other spaces. I had to get used to when he eats n poop n pee. I then started my schedule for him on my turf. Now we got a kennel n he did really well right away. We left him in there for 3-4 hrs first time then let him outside. He pee. Then I put him back in kennel n went to sleep. I was worry since I kept I read where u supposed to let them out at night r only in kennel for certain hrs depending on their wks. When I woke up the next day and pick him up n bring him outside he did his peeing n pooping. Then I feed him. Put him back in his kennel, got ready for work n got my dtg ready for school. Let him outside one more time then back in his kennel he went. Then my husband would let him outside at noonish then fed him then either let him play a little bit outside r run in kitchen. If we see him run to his pad we took him outside right away. Then he gets one more chance outside then back into his kennel with some toys. He'll play with his toy n nap n then dinner comes n we let him outside then fed then little play then outside one last time n back into his kennel for nite nite. We do tried to trained him after he plays so he won't be too hyper. He learn quick cause he knows SIT, LAY DOWN N GO TO BED. We r trying potty n he's getting better at standing by the door to be let out. Sometimes he just want to go outside. We have big fenced backyard. Sometime he gets to wonder n sometimes we put harness on him. I put two pads down inside. One inside his x-pen n one by back door. He use them but we have both on the floor for about 5 days now n he hardly used them. This morning he was even using out in the rain. He's only about 3# r less. Be consistence. I brought wire kennel on amazon.com n it's kinda big now but we section to only 1/2. Enough for him to turn around. He haven't use it in there. I love it n the longest he held overnight was 10 hrs. Who says he can't hold all night since he is sooo young. Nope, u can trained him now! His kennel in kitchen n food right outside his kennel. I don't want him roaming yet completely train!
