|  Hello, this is my first post! I just wanted to say hello. I am a pretty new Yorkie Owner. Our Sammie is about 4 months old now. He is super hyper but we love him so much. A Yorkie is the only little dog my husband would agree to. So, we have learned to sit and are working on other commands but it is so hard to keep his attention. Any tips on that and potty training? |

| Hi to you and Sammie!! Welcome to YT. My little girls Fifi and Lulu were too hyper at that age. I used to play with them until they tire. Then I would get an hour or two of peaceful sleep!!! and for toilet training I made sure after every meal time I would take them straight outdoors, they soon got the hang of it. Hope this info is helpful. Merry christmas to you and Sammy love Wendyx Fifi And Lulu   :xmascan d: |

|  Hello! Hi and welcome to YT!  you're gonna love it here! As far as house breaking goes it just takes time and patience......I use a firm 'NO' if I catch Twinkle peeing or pooping where she shouldn't and take her to where she should be going (outside or peepad). When she does go where I want her to I give her loads of praise and a treat. She still has accidents but she's getting there! I wish you lots of luck with your little one xxx xxx

| Welcome... I'm new to YT also My puppies aren't hyper at all. I've got two Yorkies and a Morkie and the thing I love about these babies most is that they aren't hyper. They seem to love cuddling and playing with a few toys but they don't turn in to a ball of frantic energy like some other pups I've had. But potty training?! Ha... small dogs take forever to get the hang of going potty outside.

| Welcome to Yorkietalk! I agree with everyone else about the potty training. It takes time, patience, and consistency. Walker is 5 months old and he just got the hang of it one day. Suddenly he was peeing in the right place all the time. woohoo! With the training thing, I always do it after a nice long walk so that hes not going spastic. Good luck! |
