My Yorkie is now litterbox and outside trained, and I would say she has been 98% since 10 months old and in the last 2 months, she has been outstanding!! I must say, that I work full time and I am sure that made the training process a bit longer for me. I just prefer that she be able to go inside, and when a pup, it was sooo nice not to have to go outside every night 2 or three times, instead, we would just go to the pee pad. Now she will go ring a bell at the door to go outside, and if she doesn't like the weather (rain) she will just go to her litterbox. Keep us posted on how your little one is doing and congratulations on becoming a Yorkie Mom!!!

just wanted to say hi to you fellow Minnesotans! I thought I was the only one here!
