| Thanks for posting this! Adie know a lot of words and we frequently spell to keep her from knowing what we are talking about. She did figure out a few spelled out words. One word she just doesn't seem to understand is "no". She seems to think it means go over there and sit down then come back in two minutes and ask again. |

| Welcome! I just read the article (skimmed over part of it) and watched the videos - pretty amazing pups these yorkies are! I know our Jack recognizes certain of his toy also. They never cease to amaze me with the smarts and cuteness!

| I think sometimes Yorkies are sold short. They are so smart and have so much potential to do much more than what people teach them. Perhaps that is why some people say their dog has behavioral issues. The dog is so smart it needs to be challenged with more training. |

| Our Corky understands "Out" "walk" "Poop" "Pee" and his mommy's name "Taylor". He might know more but I have not been paying attention. |
