Animal Smiley 019 Newbie needs help

Hello all, I am kinda new to this form thing so bear with me. I just got my first puppy, a yorkie on Christmas Eve. Tobie is 11 weeks today and we are having a tough time getting used to his crate and potty training.

Tobie is also very clingy and needs to be EVERYWHERE I am otherwise he whipers and whines.

For a newbie yorkie owner please give me some words of wisdom regarding getting him used to being in his crate - he whines, crys (or sobs!) and scratches like crazy for a long time before settling down and after several minutes he's at it again. Its hard to bear, but I try to leave him in there until at least day break.

As far as pottying, he's too quick for me to catch and NEVER goes on the pee pee pads.

Any words of wisdom of advice as I am frustrated and feeling like I'm a bad mommie and not doing something right. His sister is with my dad and his fiance and I am scared I will end up having to give him to my dad to take care of.

Thanks in advance
