I too feel your pain when it comes to how difficult it is to train yorkies..lol...Wallee is 16 months old and..although fully trained to ask to go outside to poo, he will not give up his pee pads. If we go out and leave him he just sleeps..Pee pads are always down but he never uses them and is eager to go outside when we come in. When we are home during the day and he is up and playing, he will just run over and use his pee pads any time he feels during play. (He will even use them within half an hour of a long walk outside). I tried moving them towards the door but he would have none of it..He would just go find a new place to pee on the carpet..So, we have resigned ourselves to always having pee pads between our dining room table and the hutch. If it means keeping our carpet from being steam cleaned every other week then it is worth it..lol...and I guess the good part of it is that when the weather turns really bad again, we only have to worry about getting him outside a couple times a day for a poo.
