Though characteristically bold in their activity, Yorkies do like to please their owners very much, which makes them extremely easy to train. Part of what gives them their fame is not just their endearing size but the color and distinction of their silky coat.

Commonly Asked Questions About Potty Training Your AKC Yorkie Puppy
Q. I work all day. How can I let my Yorkie puppy out every 2 hours for a week?
A. Begin on a weekend. That provides you with 2 good days to get a head start. Then, seriously consider taking off a personal day or two for housetraining – it is worth it. If this is out of the question, try to get home at least twice during the day, and/or have a friend or a pet sitter drop by a few times. One to two weeks of serious housetraining will make a big impact. Soon you'll have a fully housetrained Yorkie puppy, and you won't have to worry about him while you're away. (Remember, do not crate your pup if someone can't let him out frequently during the first 7-10 days; use the puppy-proofed kitchen instead, described below, but keep the crate training going when you are home at night)
Q. I'm away from home 9 hours a day, I can't take time off or afford a pet sitter and none of my friends or family can help me out. Now what?
A.NEVER LEAVE A PUPPY IN A CRATE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY- he will soil it. Instead, give him a puppy-proofed area like the linoleum-floor kitchen. Using an exercise pen, make a small area with pee pee pads on one side and his crate or bed at the other. Make sure there's nothing he can reach or get into. Leave the crate door open and line the crate with, blanket that smells like you, leave the radio on with calm music or a talk show, and give him plenty of durable chew-toys to occupy his time. During your off hours and weekends, do crate train him as directed here. It will take longer, but he still needs to learn how to hold his bladder and bowel.
Q. Why is it important to housetrain my puppy so quickly?
A. Every time your Yorkie puppy soils inside your house, he learns "this floor is just as good a place to go as any," and the chances of him going there again will increase. The fewer accidents he has now, the quicker you'll have him housetrained.
Q. What should I do If my puppy has an "accident?
A. Close supervision is key during his free run time, so watch for his "signs" the he has to go (sniffing, panting, circling, staring at you or the door, whining). If you don't catch him "in the act", just clean it up with a non-ammonia cleanser and chalk it up to not being there in time. Your pup won't know what he did wrong. Punishing him is not only a waste of time but confusing to him and completely ineffective (See Yorkie puppy housetraining) Punishing a pup for an accident also teaches him to sneak off from you when he has to go he might even become too afraid of you to eliminate in front of you, even when you take him outside! If you do happen to catch him "in the act", shout "OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE'" and take him outside immediately, and praise and treat him outside as he finishes up. Remember: Punishing him is much less effective than simply showing him where you want him to go and properly teaching him how to "hold if'.
Q. What If my puppy always soils the crate? A. Clean it thoroughly and don’t punish him (see Yorkie puppy articles for more information). When you have to leave the house, put him in your puppy proofed kitchen, expect a puddle or a pile when you return home, and DON'T punish him for it!
