I should add that I would prefer they only go outside but since I am not always right there to see if they need to go out, I needed a back up and the potty pad seemed the best way to go. I also have an 8 yr old Shih-Tzu who goes only outside and never (knock on wood) has an accident. She is allowed full run of the entire house and sleeps in our bedroom in her own bed at night. Yorkies just seem to have minds of their own and need to be confined more...that's my opinion anyway. They love to please you, it's just seems harder for them to accomplish that. Mine are pretty spoiled though but from the posts I've read, they are not the only ones.
