Enormous praise is also critical when potty training. Whenever Cookie goes to the bathroom outside I make a really huge deal over it, hugging her, kissing her, running with her, throwing the tennis ball or a chew toy, playing with her, telling her how proud I am of my pee-pee girl, telling she goes outside just like the big girls, etc. Tone is important, so that you can convey how happy and excited it makes you when she goes to the bathroom in the right place. You want to make it feel really good for your pup to use her pee pad. Potty training a yorkie can be a lot of work, so try to not to get too frustrated on bad days (I know, easier said than done sometimes).
