Hello All,
My name is Marie and I am new to the site. I just added the cutest little Yorkie to my family and he is so sweet! His name is Reilly and he is about 13 weeks now. I got him Saturday night and he is adjusting quite well however potty training is a little tough. I've been hearing conflicting things - wee wee pads vs. outside. I take him outside in the morning as soon as I wake up and he goes then. Other than that he will not go outside. He is too distracted by the leaves and everything else. I take him out for walks and try to stay out as long as possible and he will not go. Then as soon as we get inside he goes. I tell him "NO" in a firm voice but he seems unfazed. I thought maybe he prefers inside. I bought wee wee pads and he just shreds them up. Not really sure what to do. I feel like a crazy person doing the same thing and when its not yielding any results. I know it's only been a few days but I feel like he is not connecting the NO with the action. Also, when he goes I say no and go to pick him up to bring him outside to teach him he growls and gets very nippy like he wants to hurt me. It doesn't seem like he is playing but I could be wrong...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks much!
Marie
