Yes, it does take patience and she is still not completely potty trained but she has made enormous progress. When we first received her, she could barely even stand, walked with her head down and did not want to be around people. She has learned to love and trust our family and likes to sit next to us in chairs, on couches and beds but she does not like to be held. It is so rewarding because we know that she loves us, she follows me around everywhere but does not want to be picked up. She however will not let me out of her sight so I think in time she may learn to trust even more and will get more comfortable with being held. I love her so much and find her so precious, I am so happy that we rescued her and I know that she loves our family too. We adopted a Yorkie rescued dog and she has been such a wonderful pet.

Unfortunately I think she went through a bad spat since she's seven years old and has only three teeth left, but my roommate and I are always taking turns holding her and helping with new sights and sounds which obviously she was denied most of her life. The one thing to remember is that although she has a tough time learning things she no doubt feels the love and appreciates everything you do for her-- I adopted a puppy mill yorkie a short time ago and I still haven’t been able to fully potty trin her, but it takes a lot of patience and love.
