All of our yorkies have been hard to housebreak. Arnie's 8 mos old and he still has 'accidents'. They tend to have a lot of reasons for not doing their business outside-too cold, it's raining and I don't want to get wet, I forgot to go while I was outside, I was too busy smelling everything and running as fast as I can, I'd rather just go here in the bathroom where you go. I even got the newest puppy training book put out by one of the vet schools to brush up on my training technique. I took him to work with me for the first few months so that I could work on housebreaking him and socializing him. He did quite well but still has accidents. Remember a puppy usually can only hold it for the number of hours of his age in months plus one- 4 month old can hold for 5 hours. Crate training helps but I had a hard time keeping him locked in there when he wants to be with the other dogs and us. At least with small dogs you only have small messes and they are so darned cute. -- Anna Southern Ohio
