We have a 4 1/2 month old female yorkshire terrier pup and we're having difficulty paper training her. She only occasionally goes on the paper or outdoors. How do we get her to consistently use the paper or go outdoors?
I have a 13 week old Yorkie-Chi. I'm litterbox training her and she is doing well. When she does have an occasional accident, I take her and put her in the litterbox and say "Potty". Then I put her in her kennel a minute while I clean it up.
If she does use the litterbox she gets a little bite size chewy treat, a "Good girl, Shasta(insert your dog's name), go potty" and lots of scratching and petting.
Dogs love to please you so eventually she'll catch on that going in the litterbox is a lot better for her.

I don't know. You have to try extra hard if the dog is more than a month or so old.

I have an 8 month old Yorkie, I swear they are the toughest dogs to train. My advice is ti get rid of the indoor training pads and teach to go ONLY outdoors. You have to really watch them, scold and move outside immediately. If you wait too long after he pees, it has no impact. I know some people crate at night and that really helps, but I notice my puppy wont pee in my room, so at night I just keep my bedroom door shut.

Don't paper train, that's teaching it that it's ok to do it's business inside the house, also, anything paper that's left around or accidentally falls on the floor, or the newspaper left on the couch is fair game for getting peed and pooped on.
Be consistent, feed on a regular schedule so you can predict when she will need to go (don't leave food down all the time) and take her out straight after feeding her saying 'go potty' or whatever command you choose but keep it the same, ignore the accidents and praise her when she does well. Say good dog, gone potty, and give her a treat. If you use go toilet, then say good dog, gone toilet when she's done it outside)
Keep her on a leash close to you, take her out regularly, dogs learn through repetition, habit and experience. Look for signals that she needs to go out: eg:sniffing around the ground, circling. When you see this, say a sharp "AAAAH! NO" to stop the action and then say in a happy tone some thing like "Want to go out?" Take her out immediately potty area encourage her to go. Use "Go Potty" or whatever you like – just use the same command each time and praise as soon as the action happens. If she gets a pleasant response to doing what you want, she will continue to do it. If she gets a negative response, she gets your attention and will keep doing it, it's best to ignore.
Don't worry about cold weather, many people in cold climates manage their dogs going out in the snow to potty.

crate her. let her out to go occasionally, working up to longer periods of time. the paper training only teaches her it is okay to go in the house, and that is not what you want.
