At that age, we kept Bella crated in the house alone for up to two hours. We were afraid to leave her alone any longer than that. She never pottied in her crate. I've read that you can keep a Yorkie confined in a crate for one hour for each age in months, plus one. At 16 weeks, that would be 5 hours total. I never tried that though, and I'd be a little scared of leaving a Yorkie confined and alone for so long. How many hours do you need to be away? |
