| New Yorkie Mommy:) Hello Everyone, I am so excited! I will be driving a well worth it 2 hour trip to get my baby boy “Marley” on May 25th 2012. He will be 9 weeks. I have been searching the net high and low, and reading your posts to learn as much as I can. I just wanted to introduce myself; I have a few questions that I will be asking at times. I really would to hear any new mommy advice or tips, feel free to share on this thread. For example, I really want to let my yorkie sleep in bed with me, but I hear once you start he will forever want to sleep with me. I look forward to this new community site. I knew I wasn’t the only one completely infatuated with yorkies. LOL! I feel like the sun is shinning brighter everytime I think of my yorkie coming home with me in a few days. |

| welcome and congrats on your pending arrival! they are the best furr babies ever and yes once they sleep with you it is really torturous to try and revert back. all three of mine furr butts sleep with me and dh. i love it, especially in the middle of the night when my cedric gets chilled and he comes and snuggles right in with me close.

| Welcome to YT. It is perfectly fine to let your dog sleep with you after they are potty trained and when they are old enough to get in and out of the bed (You may need doggy steps) Why use a Crate ? I strongly recommend crate training too. But, all dogs must spend some time in a crate, travel, surgery or illness, or in an emergency. If you teach your puppy that the crate is a good, safe place, and their special little private den, they will not be stressed or panic when they have to be in the crate. Personally I think potty training is much easier if a puppy is crate trained first.

| For example, I really want to let my yorkie sleep in bed with me, but I hear once you Welcome to YT! I agree with Teresa, once in bed, your baby will NEVER want to sleep all night anywhere else! And, you MUST potty train BEFORE you allow your pet in your bed, otherwise you'll be in for a terrible time. We didn't let ours sleep with us until she was DEFINITELY housebroken, which took upwards of a year. It was worth the wait! She hasn't had but maybe three or four accidents in the three years since. And those were only because I didn't pay attention to her obvious signals, and paid for my inattentiveness! Your little one will give you so much in return for so little, it just doesn't seem fair. Enjoy the years ahead. |

| He may have a hard time with certain behaviors and potty training due to being taken away from his mom early but hopefully you will get lucky and he wont. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America says that yorkies should stay with there moms until 12 weeks they learn a lot from there moms and if they aren't there to learn it then you have to be the one to teach them. Its also best not to leave this puppy alone for to many hours sense its so young.
