I've heard breeders say on this site they advise ppl not to expect miracles in potty training until 6 mo of age. It tooks months w my Cricket. My Gidget came housetrained but w the transition she had to adjust to our home which took about a month.

You're not a failure. It takes a while to potty train a human child - it certainly does not happen quickly! Puppies are the same. This is a hard breed to potty train. Hang in there - you can do it!! Some day it will be a vague memory and you will be typing on here encouraging someone else to hang in there!

I pee pad trained. I found it easier w this breed. My vet recommended also when I called him saying "what am I doing wrong, I cannot housetrain this puppy!" He said if he had a quarter for every yorkie owner that called him and said that. He recommended pee pad training for this breed, and I really started making progress w potty training when I switched to pee pads rather than outside.
