we've just brought home a yorkie, she is 3 months old and weights under two pounds. our problem is that she like to poop on her bedding, we've tried to crate for short periods of time with only turn around room in her crate. but she'll just squat and poops or pees in it. we've also tried putting her in a x-pen with a bed, paper tray and water, she pees in the paper tray but poops on her bed!anyone with any idea on how to train her not to eliminate on her bed? please help!!

You should try giving her a new bed. It might also be helpful if you take her outside 5 to 10 minutes after she eats. This is how we house-broke our lab puppy.

you can try getting the potty training pads. if she poops on the bed, pick her up and put her on the pad for 1minute, don't let her walk around just hold her there. if she pees/poos on the pad congradulate her and give her a treat
