Wembley is 10 months (almost 11) and she is crate trained. We haven't let her have the reign of the house yet, because I am nervous that she will eat everything she can find, and pee in the house. She is perfectly house trained, but we've never seen what might happen if she's alone and out of her crate for 6-8 hours. Seems like most of you who let your yorkies roam have them wee-wee pad trained (?). What about those who have theirs "out" trained? Our main floor has no doors, so she would have access to our small kitchen, dining room and living room (a big L shaped room), and the foyer. I feel so guilty leaving her in her crate for all those hours, so would love to let her roam. Just curious what others do. Thanks! Love this site!
