Show him that peeing outside is good by rewarding him for doing so.
I used to provide a link to some excellent streaming videos on this, but the site was recently removed it seems.

Bless your heart for wanting to free this little guy. There are lots of good suggestions at yorkietalk.com. You may decide to use a belly band until your boy is better trained. A belly band is a piece of fabric that is attached by velcro around his waist, over his penis. A sanitary napkin is attached to the fabric to absorb the urine. My mom uses them on me when we go visiting! Doesn't help with poo, but marking is usually the reason I pee in the house. My mom's friend at yorkiefantasy.com makes high quality, low cost belly bands. Hope this helps!

Hi there!
First of all, get them both fixed, ASAP! The Yorkie is probably marking his territory, and your little Chi could come into heat any minute - she is just the right age! But she is way too young to breed, and he could easily get her pregnant before you realize she's fertile! If she gets pregnant, she and her pups will be at high risk. A spay-abort would be better than a C-section... but if you get her spayed before her first heat, it will be much easier on her. There are so many Chis in shelters; don't let her contribute!
Also, neutering the Yorkie will help tremendously as you house-train him. You will have a happier, healthier household with both dogs fixed.

Good luck with your two little pals!
