Morkies are adorable. From what I've seen, just about any dog mixed with a Maltese make adorable and lovable little dogs! We trained Muffit from 8 wks. old to use a cat box with newspaper or puppy pads. It worked well. She only made mistakes when she got lazy in her rebellious teen stage and decided close was good enough!! But we are being much more watchful and rewarding any "presents" in the box graciously. She's doing well. She likes going outside as,too, but winter might make her box a better choice so we keep encouraging her to use it. We began her walking with a halter and leash right away at 8 wks. She didn't balk, but pulls. We have worked on that by not moving if she pulls and making her know we are the boss of when and where we go. At times I use a recoiling longer leash so she can have some freedom. She usually runs ahead and then turns and looks for me and returns to walk along side.

Morkies go through a 6-8 mo. teen rebellion or at least Muffit did. She will be a year old next month and seems to be mellowing out a bit and is much more obedient. Just never give up! They are smart and learn quickly. Good luck.
