| Yorkie on the Dog Whisperer Did anyone see the Dog Whisperer today with the Yorkie on it? It was a amazing. Like most Yorkie's.....the little Yorkie on the show ruled the house and he was the boss. (oh....and was sooooo cute too) The Dog Whisperer said that Yorkies are so cute so their owners let them get away with everything. lol Boy was he right!!!!!! Anyway it was a great show....just wondering if anyone else watched it?

| He had some GREAT advise. This particular Yorkie attacked the vacuum cleaner and the ironing board everytime the owner brought them out. He advised the owner to take ownership of the items ....by not allowing the Yorkie to come close to the items when in use. He also said to pick a word or sound to use in discipling. But never use the dogs name when discipling....for example: "NO" do not say, "NO BUDDY". Another good suggestion he had was to reach out to your Yorkie and give a firm "tap/touch" to indicate to your Yorkie that you are in charge. (no force necessary just a firm touch) In this particular espisode the Yorkie would run everytime the owner tried to discipline him from attacking the ironing board so the Dog Whisperer suggested putting him on a leash so the Yorkie could not dart away when she was trying to discipline him. He quickly caught on and realized that his owner was in charge. (I cannot wait to try this because my little guy hates the vacuum cleaner and I can never catch him to discipline him when I am vacuuming....it turns into a chasing game to him). The Dog Whisperer also said that we Yorkie owners are so afraid of hurting our Yorkies feelings because they are very sensitive dogs. He said that showing your Yorkie that you are the dominant one is NOT hurting their feelings. I hope all this made sense...I am trying to type this and watch my kids in the pool. lol

Anyway, I'm curious, did he use a collar on him. I think I'd hate for him to use that collar like he does with the big dogs. It makes me nervous cause yorkies are so small. mari | |
