[quote=Anonymous]We have a rescued Yorkie that we adopted as a puppy. Took me 9 months to housebreak her, but eventually she caught on. I listened to my vet very closely, I was at my wits end and didn't want to scare her - I was also at my breaking point.

I had to size down the crate to a cat carrier. The crate training was ONLY for housebreaking, she's now 11 and is only crated if she's sick. When she was out of the crate, I had her with me by having her leashed to my belt and when she'd start the figure 8, I'd run her outside and basically be her cheerleader.  I'd use "potty" for peeing and "more potty" for poop, and now goes on command. You have to get a grip on the situation and have a plan. She's so darling, and very much loved, and she needed to be housebroken so we could all live peacefully. I know many yorkies that are not housebroken, and are locked up in bathrooms during the day. Our girl has the run of the house, because I was diligent with her training. My vet was super helpful and when I was frustrated, she offered to take her for a nig ht or 2. I can't believe she's 11 now, she still looks like a puppy but with very little teeth:)
