Hello everyone! I'm brand new here and a brand new yorkie owner. We got our little girl when she was 8 weeks old. Now, I understand from what I've seen on here, that is a little young, but our breeder claimed that this littler has matured quick and took on mature behaviors rather quickly. That's why they let her go at 8 weeks.


She's just 12 weeks old. She's very spunky, fun, lots of energy, and LOVES cuddling and just being by our side. The nights have been a terror though..


We experimented with an xpen overnight, but we got a consultation from a trainer right after we got her, and he said to crate train her at night. So we've been experimenting with that. We keep her in a separate room so that we cant hear her bark when we try to sleep. The only problem is, I can't hear her bark over night when she needs to potty. Then she ends up soiling her crate over night. It's depressing and you can tell she hates soiling where she sleeps.


We tried keeping her in our room overnight so she can see us and that we could hear her when she needs to potty, but it was a nightmare. If we are at all in her sight, and she can't be cuddled up next to us, she will bark constantly for hours.


How do I handle this!? Being that the weekend is coming up, we were thinking about letting her sleep with us. That way she is calm and sleeps well overnight, and hopefully she will wake us when she needs to go out.


Any help? I'm ready to tear my hair out over this. The rest of the potty training and housetraining is going good. Not great, but it's not bad either. But this nighttime thing, we really don't know what to do. I'm open to anything! Thanks!
