I am so sorry you are having problems with your girl. Has there been any changes in diet or her routine? Is there any additional stress in her life? Has she had any recent shots or any health problems? Has she been spayed. Hopefully you will find the answers here.

I'm not sure why Yorkies forget their training sometimes. Just keep an eye on her at all times. When my husband and I are downstaires, we block the stairs so Prince can't sneak off. Praise her, a lot, when she uses her pad. I wouldn't punish her if she has an accident, I would clean it up and keep going. Positive reinforcement works for us.
