Okay, this might be taboo, but we have never crated Mojo! (sorry)

We bought a crate before we got him (years ago) because we were told it helps in training, it gives them a secure/safe/comfy place to go, it was over-all safer for him, etc.

Okay, the truth is, we never put him in there, so we don't know if he whine or now.......we just couldn't bear the thought of this cute, cuddly, sweet little baby not being by us! Even at night, he always slept with us - we never worried about him getting smothered (well, I guess you could say, we did worry) because we would always move and end up being uncomfortable to make sure he was comfortable! Just like most proud Yorkie parents!

BUT my circumstances were what most people would probably dream of with a new Yorkie baby! My job (at the time) allowed me to bring him with me to work. I had my own office and I was the only one (beside two other women) in our building. Then, after that, I decided to stay home to school my daughter, so we were with Mojo all the time.........and because of that, I think it was the reason why we never had issues with potty training, etc.
