I am a novice Yorkie Mom of a 10 week old. We live in Michigan, so I, too, am trying to figure this one out. We had fridged (below zero) temps the first days we had Jack, so we put a box with the potty pads at the door and he went there. It warmed up (25-30 degrees or so) and the vet said that it was not too cold to take him out to go potty in our unheated garage. So the box is now there. It is working and I am thrilled it is outside the house proper. In Spring I am thinking that I will move a potty pad to the spot in the yard that I want him to use. Fingers crossed that it will work. Hearing that Yorkies seem to take longer to train than other dogs causes me to try to make it as simple as possible for him. Good Luck to you too!
