I know we got our yorkie way too young. We got Chloe at 6 weeks. I now know why 12 weeks is best. Lacey our last yorkie, we also got at 6 weeks. But, she was a breeze to train. In less than a month, she was 100% trained. She was newspaper trained. I think maybe because we got her from a pet store and she was used to being confined all day long in that tiny cage. Chloe is extremely stubborn in trying to train. We tried crate training. That did not work. She would pee and poop in it. And we were very consistant on taking her out the crate to her puppy pad. She is confined to the laundry room with a baby gate when we are busy and can't supervise her. And she does okay with that. She uses her pad about 95% of the time in there. But, when we let her out for playtime, she refuses to walk back to the laundry room to use her pad. She will just squat wherever. We are almost at our wits end with solution. I know she is still young. She won't be 3 months until the 28th of this month. But, we are wiping up pee and poop constantly.
