My daughter was 10 when we got Remmy. I got him for her...he was her Christmas present. Well I will say that my yorkies tend to bond with one person and even though she did alot with him...took him out to potty, feed him. He still became my dog...to tell you the truth I think I stole him away from her. When he was little he slept in a crate but now that he is potty trained he sleeps with her everynight. But I can tell in his mind my daughter is a sibling not an alpha in the pack world. She has not authority over him. He only listens to me and my husband. As for potty training...I don't think potty training any dog is easy. Alot of patience and understanding and don't expect to much to fast. These little guys take quite a while to be able to hold thier bladders. Remmy was a year old before he was trusted to be out of his kennel for short periods of time unattended.
