They do say that yorkies are the hardest breed to house break! I was fortunate with Fiona. I got her when she was 4 months old, and was pretty much crate and potty trained, when I got her she only had about 2 accidents, both on hardwood floors!

She goes on command, and does great! Never really have had a problem with her up until we moved in with my boyfriend--she has been having accidents here and there, but I think its lack on my part....so good luck, just be aware of when you take your babies out, and if they dont' do anything outside, and you know they need to do something, put them in a crate for 10 min and try again! good luck!

I have a bull terrier and a yorkie, both are 1 year old. They are pretty well house trained unless I forget to let them out on time. I have pads laid out and my bull terrier has caught on well, it only took her about 6 months to realize you go on the pads. Lola misses the pads sometimes still.

My mom's yorkie turned one in August and she still has accidents too.

My first yorkie, Stormy. She was pad trained within a few weeks of getting her but she was 1.5 yrs old.
