| Is your yorkie a yapper? Is your yorkie a yapper? Everytime I take Lucky outside, she barks and runs around like crazy if she even smells another dog. Since we live in a condo and there are lots of dog owners in the neighborhood, she is barking constantly. How do I get this under control? She doesn't listen (if she can even hear me with all of that yapping.) |

| Kacee doesn't yap. In fact, she very seldom barks. Just once in awhile. Most of the time it's at me if I'm ignoring her and she's decided she wants to play.

| i've had yoshi only 3 days or so, but he has never barked ever so far. or yapped. he whines a little sometimes, but other than that he is totally quiet besides when he is running (then you can hear him panting). as for barking, everywhere i've read says that yorkies are barkers but they can be easily trained not to. i dont really know if there's specifically anything special that you do about it, but thats what i've heard. |

| I wouldn't mind getting a handle on this myself. Everything is fine until you want to play ball with her or pick up something she knows is hers. She sounds like those sea gulls from Nemo! MINE MINE MINE. Its so hard to enjoy when all of a sudden she becomes this demented obsessive angel. She barks the whole time you are getting ready to throw it or release it. LOUDLY! Any suggestions beside putting the ball away?

| Bo barks at squirrels and kittys. Even saying it and he barks. Duncan is working on his big dog bark. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I don't mind the barks. He'll usually stop when I tell him to stop. But he's recently started this 'yip" thing when he wants something. Yip, yip, yip. It's driving me insane.

Mollie is the same way. About the only time she barks when she is outside is when she wants back in, when she is chasing a squirrel or hunting a mouse. And Wyatt doesn't bark that much at all yet.

| Lacey is quiet most of the time but Chloe will get my attention by that little yap/yip thing to the point of being annoying. The only way to stop her is to ask her what she wants, outside or play. Usually she runs and gets a toy, which means, you are on YT too much, play with me, now. |

| Teddy will bark if something startles him but in general he isn't yappy and never has been. He has always been just a shy, quiet little guy.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I would not say my girls are yappers...they bark at normal dog stuff but they are not crazy about it at all!! I think we are pretty lucky about that...

| Well both of mine bark at other dogs and people. For whatever reason though as they are getting older they are getting better about not barking or quieting down when we ask them to.
