| I am the lucky one I guess, don't want to brag...but Winston has been trained to go potty outside literally since the day I brought him home...8 weeks old!!! I know he's amazing, I took him outside, before I took him inside my house that very first day, I heard this suggestion from a well known dog trainer in town. And it worked for me...never let him set foot, or should I say paw, in the house until he pottied outside...praise...persistence... patience...and never freedom to roam around inside til he did his thing outside. He's an awful smart dog, I can't even believe how fast he learns.

| That is funny...But really, I had a horrible time training his big brother Spencer(not really related)...I didn't think he'd ever get it, but I persisted, and won!!! So even before I got Winston I was so prepared for battle...my husband and I kept thinking this is a dream...He learned so fast...He's 3 years old now, and I really don't remember him having a single accident. Of course I paid very close attention to him, and never really gave him too much freedom to "go" so to speak...I know that if there comes a time and I get another, I'll do exactly as I did with Winston...OUTSIDE FIRST...POTTY...THEN AND ONLY THEN will he touch carpet...Good luck everybody with the potty training!!!

| Rhapsody was completely trained by the time she was 4 months old. Tiger is over a year, he's pretty much trained, but I'll have to confess sometimes he will have an accident.

| I had second thoughts about posting to this thread... the last time i posted about this I got slammed bad! Someone even had the nerve to say there is no such thing as a perfect yorkie!! " I dont remember ever saying I had a perfect yorkie... But oh well! Anyways, I got Penny when she was 9 weeks old, and she was 100% potty trained by the time she was 12 weeks old. I guess some dogs just catch on quicker than others I dont know what the secret is. But she was just an exceptional PUP... she never chewed on anything and only peed on the carpet twice she pooped on the carpet about 6 times but then she had the dreaded diarrea. So I consider myself very fortunate to have had such an easy time with her. |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Stedman was completely and totally potty trained when he was 4 months old. He is now 15 months and NEVER and I mean NEVER has an accident in the house. He is so smart and learns pretty much ANYTHING extremely quickly. Tatum is a little over 6 and 1/2 months old and is doing VERY well with her potty training...she is nearly (well, basically) trained but still has a *few* accidents here and there once in a blue moon

| I got Conner when he was 9 weeks old. He was pee pee pad trained when we got him. He always went on the pads. Hubby and I decided it was time for him to go outside. We picked up the pads and took him outside when we thought he should go. He went when we took him outside, but he also went on the floor where his pad used to be. He was no completely trained until he was 9 months old. Now he never has a mistake. He will wait at the stairs for us to take him potty.

| When I got my lil Izzie at 10 weeks she was pretty much trained to go outside...however, since I am gone during the day and she is indoors in a playpen in the kitchen (can't leave her outside due to hawks/crows) she is also learning to use a potty pad...she is doing great with the pottypad in the playpen...gets it everytime... Then during the evenings while I'm home and she has the run of the downstairs, she has two potty pads in place for her and is learning to use those...she still has a few accidents where she is so close...but just missing the pad, but she is in the general area.... I also have carpet strips in my garage by my washer/dryer and work bench and when I am in the garage she will relieve herself there instead of going inside....oh well, better in the garage then on my carpet indoors. She is learning...and so far doing well....She is learning that going on the potty pads in the living room will get her a yorkie yummy...and she is quickly catching on to this as she does sooooooo love her yorkie yummies...She is also still doing quite well with the going outdoors also....She is now 17 weeks old (4 months) and I think she is doing quite well for still being so young...In a few weeks I will be home with her all day...(work for a school district so I have my summers off) I'm hoping that we will have time to get the potty training down so that I can let her go upstairs with me....

| Housebroken? They're supposed to be housebroken? Just kidding- sort of. Gracie was 100% potty pad trained at 4 months. We moved when she was 6 months and had some set backs and started training her outside. She was probably 99% housebroken by a year old and that's as good as it got. She'll have an accident in the houde once in a blue moon if no one is home. I got Sugar at 17 months and I'm still having some problems. He was never taken outside so he is scared to death of grass. He uses his potty pad in a litter box but also uses my kitchen rugs. He was 2 in Feb. so I guess that means I've given up. Spike was hopeless- he's in a belly band.

| I adopted Fritzel when he was 2 years old and he was not housebroken. It took a while but I think he has the hang of it now. |
