| stupid question This may be a stupid question so Im apologizing before..haha. Taylah will be 14 weeks old on Friday. When I first got her (around 11 weeks) I took her out about once every 2 hours... Im still doing so sometimes except at night--then its about every 3-4 hours, til we wake up. But if she has done both for me outside, I extend it to abou tevery 3 hours, kwim? Anyways.. do yall think I should maybe be extending it a bit to get her to learn to *hold* it a bit longer? or keep what Im doing? I know their bladders are still little and she gets excited easily but that's never been an issue.. do yall think since shes getting a little older I need to extend it? I can't remmber how we did it with Daphne--she was such an easy dog to train and mostly did it herself believe it or not!

You should change the routine when she is about 6 months or so. All my dogs are not completely housebroken until a year. Treat her like a real baby (human). When she wakes up, immediatly take her out. When she eats, take her out, and in between these times. That's how I do it. I just remember when my kids would dirty their diapers. I try to be one step ahead. Good luck, be patient, I have found yorkies in general are hard to housbreak. Now not all, but my 3 adults were. As well as alot of my friends.
