Sarah is such a cutie. Potty training can be really tough with yorkies; make sure to give tons and tons of praise when she goes in the right place. I got Cookie to pee on command by giving the Go Pee command, which would get her to sniff around to find a place to squat down and pee or drop a deuce. And then huge praise. E.g., parading around my little peepee girl through the house, running around with her right after a poop, stuff like that. Way over the top praise is what you're aiming for, as you want it to feel really good for Sarah to pee/poop in the right place. I don't ever give snacks for potty trips though, as yorkies are smart and will figure that one out quick. Minnie used to do fake pee trips for snacks back when I made that mistake. I'd go out with her and she'd squat down and pretend to pee!
