There are sooo many posts on YT about potty training. Please don't expect her to get it after only two weeks. Consistency and patience are the only way. I keep Lexy in the laundry room/kitchen area. The only time she has access to the other parts of the house are right after she does her "business" and only if we are there to supervise.

Yorkies are hard to potty train but so worth it in the end! How large is her crate? Perhaps you need a very small one to crate train her. If the one she is in is large enough, it won't bother her to poop in there because she can get away from it.

Take treats outside with you and when she goes outside (and she will if you stay out long enough) get akk excited with her and give her a treat. Make sure you say the work you use to tell her to go potty. For instance, when Lexy goes outside, I say "Good Girl, Lexy!!! You went potty outside!" That way I'm hopefully teaching her the words potty and outside in a positive way that will make her want to please us.

Hang in there! She'll get it in time! At least 95% of the time! I don't know any yorkie who is 100% potty trained!
