| How much is to much? I have been working on training my little girl, but im worried im giving her to many treats I use Pup Peroni an a few other kind like that . I don't give her a full on at a time but it seemd like im filling her up on treats an im not sure if that is good for her or not I just don't want to make her sick! |

| Try cutting them into teeny, tiny pieces. If she's not getting sick and not getting fat, you're probably okay.

| you might want to try a treat that has more natural ingredients and then you won't have to worry AS much about giving her too many.. i'd say as long as she is eating and not getting full on the treats then it's ok as long as this is just temporary until she learns her commands |

| Use her kibble (or a different kibble). On class nights I wouldn't feed Loki, I'd just dump his dinner in my treat bag and use that. Loki would do a trick for a piece of lettuce... so I understand that it might be harder for those pickier Yorkies. :-) I wouldn't use puperoni either, just because it's not healthy at all. Use Buddy Biscuits or Charlee Bears or freeze dried chicken or something healthier. Good luck!

My husband was making fun of me cause I give her a treat every time she comes to me or every time I say no an have her come to me. Thats alot in one day. She loves to play outside an we are trying to potty train so. I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Thank you againg! |

| Make sure you use praise as much as treats when she does something right. She really just wants to please you, and sometimes a good girl cuddle is as pleasurable to her as treats are...Save the treats for the biggies, potty training and commands, but always give plenty of praise and lovin' whenever she does anything for you. And she doesn't need much for a treat to be a treat...sometimes just tempt her with the smell, let her give it a quick lick...she'll do just fine.

No help with the potty problem on a plane, I've never flown with Winston. But I think I've heard others say to lay peepads down in the restroom. That would be a problem for me, Winston will only potty on grass...He'll hold it 9 hours before he'd go on the floor or pad...He's so funny...

Also for treats, I only use a treat the size of about 1/2 of an M & M. Also, our trainer suggests "psyching" him out, start every other time or so, holding out your hand like you have a treat, quickly moving past her mouth and going into lots of petting with lots of verbal praise. | |

| Try the suggested things for standing ears, shave, massage. I think I read somewhere they usually stand, if they are going to, by 6 months. My otis has really thick hair, I think if I would've kept his ears shaved they probably would've come up. We have a huge "flop earred" fan club here at YT. I think flop ears suit my Otis's personality. Here's a pic.

| Sometimes the ears can be coaxed to stand up, shave the hair off the top 1/3...massage can possibly help strengthen them...and of course the dreaded tape. Once she's done teething they may just automatically stay up...or not. Just love her, regardless...Winston's were standing erect when I got him at about 2 months, but Spencer's were up sometimes and down others and I thought he was just beautiful...and so did others!!!

| Thank you I love her ears no matter what they are cute either way. I can't shave her she doesn't like the sound an freaks out so I will have to take her in when we get to the states they do a better job I don't like taking her down here I did once an the dog next to her was bleeding so I never went back I have tried to do it myself but she freaks out to much. |
