I know not to chase her because she'll think it's a game. It took me almost a half hour to get her inside today and she got so close to the road my heart was pounding. After that I didn't take her outside unless she had a leash on, but that seems to stop her from wanting to go pee. Help!
Thank you for being here when I feel all alone in the world of Yorkies. LOL

You sure you don't have my Chloe there? I seriously think it is spring fever. Chloe has been doing the same thing. When time allows, instead of rushing my patience, I clap my hands, which seems to make her run wide cicrles in the yard until it tires her, then I tell her to sit, which she will once tired, then I walk over and scoop her up... Then we're both happy
This has been going on ever since our snow broke and the windy weather died down. The "come" command is not one of her strong points anyway.. Trick number 2: Have a training treat in your hand to offer when you want her to follow you in. Especially if I need to get ready to leave soon, I take turns doing it either way so she doesn't expect a treat each time. She just loves it outside but so do I
