| my 8mth old does exactly the same thing I am constantly running after him because he ALWAYS has something in his mouth. I try to buy him a lot of toys so those will be the only thing he is interested in but he easily tires of the toys and begins to look for things on the carpet in the grass and anywhere his little nose can reach! and he has a two rounds of training and he still does not "leave it"

| LOL mine too!!! No matter how much I vacuum, they always seem to find something! Reminds me of my kids when they were crawling. They would make a mad dash for a tiny piece of lint that I couldn't even see!!

| lol thats funny...i think to some degree we use the "leave it" command already but usually say "drop it" and he's gotten used to dropping things. We just need to be a little more consistent probably.

| The "leave it" and "drop it" commands have been great for us. Prince seems to know when "leave it" is coming. If I drop a piece of food, he hesitates to see if i'm looking before he slowly tiptoes over to it. When I tell him to leave it, he kinda hangs his head and sulks away (as if to say "dang! foiled again). I have to laugh to myself cause its the cutest thing ever. I usually end up giving him a treat or kisses afterward for listening so well. |

| Bailey eats everything too. I'm worried he might swallow something that might kill him. My friend's yorkie died when it was 2 months old. Apparently, he ate a needle. Ever since then, I'm super paranoid with my yorkie. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Also need to be carefull when taking your Meds or dispensing some out when you have a pack. I have one pup that will happily eat anyone's Meds thoughtfully spit out by his bro or sis.

| Welcome to YT, this thread is 8 years old, you can start your own thread on this topic if you wish, but for now, you have to keep your house as if you had a human toddle. You know how toddlers are, everything goes in their mouth, well yorkie pups are the same way. In other words, baby / puppy proof your home. I trained my boy when I am cooking he is not allowed in the kitchen, also train your pup command word of LEAVE IT also DROP IT.

| My girls eat everything & the strangest things... a small remote they were able to get off the coffee table, coasters anytime I leave them too close to the edge of the table, my vertical blinds, some baseboard, the legs of my coffee table, tweezers (?!), they love pens... then of course anything I accidentally leave on the ground. I try to make sure they're leaf-free when they come in from walks but they always seem to keep one or two collected in their long hair & that's their favorite thing to eat. They have tons of toys of all different types and textures but they prefer anything that isn't a toy it seems. I use "leave-it" and "drop-it" but they generally get things when I'm not looking. I keep them in an x-pen when I'm not home because they cannot be trusted. They'll be 2 in April... any thoughts on how long these kiddos do this?! Haha |

| Have you noticed that you can have a room you are SURE has nothing in that they could pick up and chew, but they'll still find something? If I spot Wookie with something in her mouth I'll say 'What have you got?' Cue an instant cessation of chewing, accompanied by a look of total innocence! I'll then say 'Drop it'. Look of innocence turns to a 'You never let me have any fun!' look as she reluctantly spits out whatever it is! |
