Question
I was planning on Yorshire Terrier puppy! a little boy. I plan on having him as my little house dog. but im worried that potty training him is going to be impossible? is that a bad idea to get one or any advicee...?

Answer
Hi Bella!

Yorkshire Terriers are not impossible to potty train.  They have a reputation for being more difficult to potty train than some others, but it can certainly be done.  Potty training is typically one of the most difficult things about having a puppy - it just doesn't happen overnight.  It takes persistence and determination on your part.  Once you get through it, it is well worth the effort put into it.  Here are some blog posts to get you started:
