You cannot give in, Lisa. It may take a few days and your pup will probably resist like hell (Cook did initially), but you have to just let them cry and complain. The crate is the safest place a young yorkie could be at night. You don't have to work about stepping on her If you get up in the night, and I think it helps with the potty training too since she will cry to pee/poop. It lets her know to give you a verbal request, since pups don't like crapping where they sleep for the most part. I know it's so hard to hear those cries from a pup you so deeply love, but it's what made things work with my Cookie.
