DOG FAQ - Are Yorkshire Terrier hard to housebreak?

Any breed of dog can be housebroken. Smaller breeds of dogs have been known to possibly take longer. It seems that some Yorkshire Terrier take years to fully housebreak while others only take a couple weeks or months. Personal preference to use puppy pads for inside housebreaking or outside training will work with the proper training “techniques” which training manuals are highly recommended. What works for one Yorkshire Terrier might not for another. Some Yorkshire Terrier owners use the kennel method, other owners designate a small area of the house to contain the Yorkshire Terrier in until the Yorkshire Terrier is mature enough to have full rein of the house and is completely housebroken. Patience and dedication with positive reinforcement is the key to housebreaking your Yorkshire Terrier.
