As far as going into your bed....you have to be very careful he does not jump from the bed, or fall from that height, during the night as he goes to potty. I wait until mine are at least a year old and have some size on them, and I have a ramp....NO JUMPING!!! |
This was exactly my experience with Teddy. We brought him home at 12 weeks but he was trained by 14 weeks. HOWEVER, we still had to let him out at times because even though he knew where to go, if he was crated at night, being trained did not mean his bladder could hold!
I think knowing how old the puppy is would be useful as the general rule is that puppies can hold their bladder one hour for every month of age. I would warn that this applies to puppies in general, not individuals, and Yorkies bladders are smaller than dogs in general.
Sleeplessness will pass. However, training and sacrifice is what you sign up for when bringing a puppy home! All of the inconvenience is worth it when the AHA moment happens!
