| There is something outside that your furbaby isn't loving--and its ok, it takes a small amount of time to get them used to pooing in the grass. My Lillie is crate trained and I think this has helped TREMENDOUSLY! At first it broke my heart to leave her in that cage, but she's on a schedule now and she knows its part of her life. The first thing she does when she gets out of the crate, is goes right to her piddle bad and does her thing. I HAVE to watch her though, because if I'm not there observing, she WILL go on the carpet. We are gradually moving to outside. Maybe try following a schedule? Here's what we do: ---7am-UP and TO the piddle pad, back to crate bed till 8am ---8am-9:30 breakfast and playtime! ---9:30am-12noon crate time or we like to call it "Lillies Personal Time" ---12-1:30 OUTSIDE to potty immediately, lunchtime, and playtime ---1:30-5pm crate time ---5pm-7:30p OUTSIDE to potty immediately, dinner time and playtime! ---7:30-9pm - OUTSIDE potty time (again before bed) ---9pm Bed Time! I know I sound like a drill sergeant but its not as hard as it seems. I PROMISE that if you found a new home for your little one, you will regret it and miss her dearly! It'll work out, just takes time! =)

| The best advice I was ever given about training outside worked so fast, but all yorkies are different. I use an x-pen instead of a crate because Capone never soiled his pen. Outside if she doesn't use the bathroom then back into the pen. Then after 10 minutes back outside. You may have to do it 2 or 3 times and she will realize the only place she is going to go is outside. Once she goes outside you can have play time in the house until you think she has to go again. And when you take her outside put her on a leash and don't let her go anywhere or play besides the area she can reach on the leash so she doesn't forget she has to go. It worked for me. Good Luck. I hope she doesn't have to find a new home.
