No, two months? Isn't that two month-long periods of four weeks each = 8 weeks? I'm really confused.

He is too young to be expected to hold his pee that long...at 8wks the best he can probably do is 2hrs...poor little guy....you need to get him an ex-pen hun. Can you have someone check on him during the day while you are at school? Also he should not be left alone for that long, when they are that young he can become hypoglycemic...with no one the catch the symptoms....they can go downhill very fast, this could result in you losing him. I'm not trying to scare you, this is fact, he is too young to be alone for that length of time...
He is going potty in his crate because he cant hold it....you say you have been going through this process for a long time....yet he is only eight weeks....how long have you had him?

4 weeks in a month. 2 months equals 8 weeks.

I'm confused....When was the pup born....2 months is the same as 8 weeks.
Your first post says 2 month year old....is he 14months or 8 weeks?

I bought a plastic fence that goes in a circle from Petsmart. I put his little crate in there when I went to school and pinned some pee pee pads on the fence. Give your little Yorkie some room to come out of that crate and walk around. Take him outside and I would pin a pee pee pad outside too. Train him to use those pads. He will get the idea. Oh and watch when you get his shots. Do not get all the shots together. Read the posts on this forum BEFORE you go get shots. Be patient, lots of love and your Yorkie will come along. I wonder why Yorkie pictures are on the pee pee pad packs! They are a little harder to train! But worth it in the end!

A small room, like a bathroom that is puppy proofed (shower curtain tucked into the tub, not hanging outside of it, anything on the edge of the tub put inside, etc) is wonderful to use for having to leave for 8 hours or more for a job, school, etc. Lilly is almost 11 weeks and I have had her since she was 5 weeks...yes I know it's bad but I was not given a choice. The people told me to come get her and everyone else already came to get theirs and what was wrong with me..Eep... anyway
Put her crate in there left open, a blanket with some toys on it, a couple of pee pads and her kibble in a bowl to snack on. I do not leave water for Lilly during the day, she will just run over it and soak everything. I make sure she has plenty before I leave and then all evening after I get home. She has been fine the entire time I have had her.
You also have to keep reminding yourself your baby is still very much a baby and will be for a long time. Lilly is extremely smart but she does have the occasional accident and I have to remind myself when that happens she is a baby still.
You may want to get up a bit earlier to play with her for 30 minutes to an hour before you leave. Helps wear them out and sleep and nap during the day.
Hang in there!

I look forward to updates. Remember they sense your mood and play off of that. Stay calm even if your at your wicks end.

Maybe he is 1 year and 2 months

disregard I believe he is 2 months. She said she had him since January.

Ok, I am by far no expert, but here is my opinion. For one, you should be getting up way earlier to tend to your pup. When he is trained then you can get up an hour or so earlier. He is cooped up in the crate for waaaaaaay to long. It's almost non stop from the time he goes to sleep until you get home, finish your homework, and settle in. Then when you do spend time your frustrated because he's dirty and you need to clean him and his cage.

My suggestion...


Wake up at least 2 hours earlier, but I suggest possibly earlier. This way you can feed him, let him go to the bathroom, play with him, and some training before you crate him again. When you get home settle for a little bit (15 minutes) then tend to him. Wash him up, clean his quarters, feed him, play with him, maybe take him for a walk... that way he's taken care of before you do your homework.

You can't feed him, clean up poop, stick him in a cage and expect him to be well trained or happy for that matter. You have to put in the time and effort and you will get it back with a well behaved and loveable dog.
