 Finally! Got our Yorkie housebroken...
I cannot say what has changed, other than she is now almost 6 months old, but she even stands by the door growling or wakes us up growling if she wants to go out.
We were pretty much using the crate methods described in this or other areas of this site. For a while it was pretty tense and I was taking her out multiple times per day.
A neighbor has a female Yorkie who was housetrained in 4 months. She was VERY rigid on the crate training schedule/time and I don't see how she did this but her dog was taken outside exactly every 4 hours. I believe she got a neighbor to take the dog outside when she was at work. Our Gracie might hold it during the night that long, but I am not sure she could hold it that long in the daytime...
