Yorkshire Terrier Peeing Inside House
My yorkshire terrier is almost 2 years old and he still goes to the bathroom in the house. He was doing really well with the pee pads when I moved to a new home where his smell was gone. That lasted for about two months so I decided to remove the pad and only use outside. He did just fine with that for a little over a month. I praised him and rewarded him with a cookie whenever he would go the bathroom outside.

I agree with the crate training. It worked really well with a rescue dog I have. I never have used paper training or pee pads with any of my puppies. I train them to go out right off the bat. They know they can only potty outside.
Always take them out after play time, after they eat or wake up, after a nap and first thing in the morning. It is a lot of work, but a good pay off in the end.
Pretty soon they should be coming to tell you when they have to go. My rescue dog came to me at age one, love and patience goes a long way.
Yorkies have a tough time tuning into where they can pee. I have two and it took me a very long time with my male and he is five and still pees on the couch legs or whereever he gets the urge.
My female is only 1 1/2 years old and hikes her leg (I thought that was strange) but pees and poops in the same places (one place in the downstairs bedroom and one place upstairs.) What I did was pick up the poop and say "Is this yours?" and stick it in front of her face and she will cower down and go hide.
They have little tiny bladders and have to be walked a lot! I have to take them outside and literally walk them until I see that they have peed and peed until there is nothing left to pee and then, take them inside. Even when it is cold or hot outside.
My female looks like the dog in the picture and she gets leaves and twigs stuck in her furr and I don't like her to just run amock. I have to steer her away from everything that gets stuck in her fur.
Keep using those pads or use newspaper in the same spot where your dog goes and keep that area picked up, slowly moving it to the door.
They are just terrible about being trained. Most of it may be that we tend to spoil those cute little dogs and eventually let it go on too long. I did, thinking that it would eventually quit. But it hasn't.
Yorkies are adorable and stubborn little wee ones.
We have a male, Oso. He quit after the surgery
(fixing him). Oh he still runs outside to neighbors and hikes his tiny leg on the tree. He tries to be really good but he is a YORKIE, good thing we love
can any one help me as i have a yorkshire terrier his age 9 years old.got as a rescue dog but his last owner just let him wee and poop in the house.
He has good days and bad days when we are out at work.

I have two Yorkies. A 6yr old spayed female and 9 mos old male.
I can't stand the thoughts of putting them in a crate. The female will pee on paper when it is down, or she will go outside. My male, though, is peeing on anything left sitting in the floor in the dining room.
Is he too old to be neutered for it to help stop the peeing, or marking his territory? Then, sometimes I think, what if I want to breed him - that is why I haven't had him neutered.
Our Yorkie is getting out of control. He has been trained on the pads since we got him in 2005. The last few weeks he has being peeing and pooping everywhere!! We have started a schedule of taking him outside but he has only gone once since doing this.
