Most toy dogs are also trained to use specific areas for a toilet area, especially in very cold climates where going outdoors in the winter may not be an option for certain breeds. This training is most easily accomplished when the puppy is very small, as once they get older and are fully housetrained it will be very difficult to get the older puppy or dog to use the toilet in the house.

If you are crate training the same method can be used, just the puppy will be taken to the designated toilet area rather than outdoors. For Yorkie  that are being potty trained without a crate owners will need to carefully monitor the puppy and take them to the designated area at the first sign of circling, sniffing or seeking a place to relieve him or herself. Smaller dog breeds and toy Yorkie   are often difficult to work with simply because it is so easy for them to slip behind or under furniture and go to the bathroom before the owner even notices what has happened. Keeping the puppy in sight at all times immediately following exercise, eating, drinking or when waking up from sleep is very important.

Paper training

Paper training is often an easy task, especially if the breeder had the Yorkie   on paper while they were in the kennel. Start by placing some type of plastic on an area of flooring. It is important to place the plastic under the paper and above the flooring to stop the smell of urine from permeating the flooring. The paper can either be shredded or placed down in sheets, with greater or lesser thickness depending on the size of the puppy. It is important to change the paper daily as most Yorkie ( Yorkshire Terrier ) will not want to walk across soiled paper. It may be necessary to leave a small piece of the paper that has been urinated on with the clean paper as a reminder to the puppy that this is where he or she is supposed to go. Since male dogs, when very small, do not lift their leg to urinate this early in their development this method works well for both males and females. Once the Yorkie Puppy ( Yorkshire Terrier ) mature it may be necessary to add a small pole or branch on the paper to encourage them to use this.

Remember that Yorkie  using the paper may have fecal material and urine on their paws and they may track this through other areas of the house. One way to prevent this problem is to place towels or paper towel around the papered area. Do not use more newspaper or the same type of paper as the toilet area as the puppy will associate the feel and smell of the paper as the right place to relieve his or herself and it will confuse the situation.

Wee Wee Pads for Yorkies

Wee wee pads also known as potty pads, training pads and housebreaking pads are similar to disposable diapers. They are highly absorbent pads that typically have a waterproof bottom barrier to prevent any leaking or seepage of soiled material onto the floor surface. Training a puppy to use a training pad is similar to paper training although it also has definite advantages. Most housetraining pads have attractant added to the pad to draw the puppy to the pad when needing to go to the bathroom.

Potty pads can also be used without the need for additional plastic liners to protect the floor. They are great for traveling and for taking the dog to different places where he or she may not be able to get outside when needed. As with all other types of alternative potty training methods the pads will need to be disposed of daily. The pads to also have odor neutralizing compounds that can help minimize the scent of the waste material, although it will not be completely eliminated.
