It took almost a year to train my female yorkie to go outside to pee. One of the things I did was lay pee pads leading to the back door. Once she started using them I began removing them slowly, one by one, until she always went outside. As my house has two floors and I worked for some hours outside the house, I did the same, but put the pads to lead underneath the upper floor stairs. Eventually, when she got very old and got kidney disease, she would still like to go upstairs and pee on pads, she was a good little girl, I miss her heaps. Good luck, there's lots of good advice here.
