Adult and Puppy Training
March 18, 2009
Yorkies will understand games, a prime way to teach a dog. Games that use positive reinforcement as a learning tool should allow the yorkie to learn in under an hour what he is supposed to do.
Such games easily teach yorkie dogs new behaviors. When teaching a dog to stop a behavior such as barking can be difficult.
If an owner uses the same dish to feed their yorkie dog daily the dog is more likely to learn boundaries. Such dogs are more respectful of thir owner’s belongings, as the dog knows what belongs to the dog.
If it is a friend, you tell the dog ‘that will do.’ If your yorkie doesn’t stop barking immediately, put him into his kennel.
Always remember to praise your yorkie. Yorkies love praise, and are surprisingly teachable through praise. Yorkies also love encouragement. They will easily respond to encouragement.
My dogs are used to being fed on a regular schedule. They know the time to expect a meal to a second. I make a point of feeding them absolutely by the clock.
Your yorkie will want to please you, usually no matter what. Yorkies are even more social than other breeds. The most important thing to a yorkie is that they are in good favor with their owner.
One may train a dog to refuse food of all sorts from anyone but its owner or owners. There is always a risk that a burglar or someone may poison food given to a dog.
