We have just recently got our 2nd yorkie. She was very distracted when we would take her outside with our older yorkie, so we built a separate fenced in area and put a mesh netting on top (to protect her from hawks stealing her). This has helped tremendously because she knows that she is only put in this area to go potty and when we set her in the fenced in area we tell her to go potty over & over until she goes and then lots of praise. Then we tell her "let's go get a treat". She only gets treats if she potty's outside. She is also getting very good at using her potty pads. I keep one right by the back door just in case we don't see her standing at the door. She won't stand at the door very long so you really have to watch her. When we see her standing at the door we also ask her if she needs to go potty.
