Here is what I had to do to housebreak my Yorkie. I was an abysmal failure at the peepad thing, as like you I had only owned large dogs before. And I freely admit I did not supervise as closely as I should have.
For one week solid, beyond what you did and do, outside to pee/poo, after every meal, waking up, play sessions yada yada.
I tethered him to my waist. And that worked to help me to catch him in action so to speak. Also of course you do know about enzymatic cleanser; also get a black light to highlight those spots of urine you might have missed.
He is crated at night, and when-ever I need freedom to clean or what-ever.
I am not sure Why Yorkies are so hard to housebreak, this is my first Yorkie. They do have small bladders for sure, but Razzle when he wants to and needs to holds if for at least 8hours as a full grown male.
But if you have other full males and or females in the house it will be very difficult. |
I did the same thing. Tethering helped me learn their potty signals quickly, and gave me the opportunity to grab & go. I also took them out every 45 minutes to an hour at first & slowly increased the time between potty breaks over time. Good luck!!
