I'm so proud of my little Triss! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

She is only 9 weeks old and I have successfully taught her 3 tricks. Sit, Down, and Paw (she gives me her paw). Ive been using bits of boiled chicken for treats. She picked them up so fast! I think it really helped having my other dog do tricks in front of her. She seems like a really smart puppy.

What a little smarty pants you have. Congratulations on her achievements.
They do love chicken. Keep up the good work.

WOW that is GREAT!! Mine is going "potty" alot better outside and I am happy!!lol What does everyone think is a "good treat" for them?? I don't want to fill her up on treats and she won't eat her dog food?? What is good to put in the little "Kongs"?? She was on "Purina Puppy Morsels" when I brought her home and that is what the breeder gave her so I have kept her on that so far and she eats it real good. Should I change her food and when?? Is Iams Lamb & Rice good?? That is what I fed my poodle years ago and she lived to age 19?? I read something here about "Dawn" for bath?? Does that kill fleas?? She is on Frontline but she is scratching alot so I thought maybe I would try the "Dawn"?? I got her some earplugs to use next bath time!!lol We are learning slow but sure together here!! THANKS TO YA ALL!!!

If she is on frontline and scratching a lot still I would check for live fleas first. If you can't find any she may be having an allergy. From what Ive read here a good food for allergies is Natural Balance (the one with duck in it). Dish soap might dry out her skin and make her more itchy.

Some of the foods people here suggest is Canidae, Natural Balance, Wellness, Solid Gold. Im pretty sure you can get these at feed stores and I know petco sells Natural balance and solid gold. I think Iams isn't considered a high enough quality food for yorkies. Try doing a little research on those foods and see what you think.

Some of the foods websites can tell you where to get them near where you live.

Congratulations on training Triss so well. My Mac also does "sit", "down" and "paw" on command at 14 weeks. I use a variety of treat bits so he won't get bored with them. Isn't it heartwarming see them progress like that!!

Gotta love the little tykes!!

Next I want to train Mac to "stay", "roll-over" , sit "pretty" and then to "wave bye" like his mother did when we took Mac home with us.

What will you train yours to do next?

hehe i know the feeling...when i bought MeiLing home i was so shocked that she learned to sit and shake within less than a minute...she is a pleaser thats for sure...now she knows everything for sit...lay down...paw(or shake), high five, roll over and bang bang!

once i got her in the lay down position as i slowly roll her over i would point at her like i have a gun in my hand and say bang bang...and after a few times she caught on and started doing it on her on...

and it wasn't that hard for me since she loves her belly rub so she doesn't have a problem rolling over...hehe...

its too stinking cute...because she could be in the stand up position and i would say bang bang...the would shake first then slowing get down to an almost sitting position...lift one of her front paws and slowing fall backwards..until she is on her back...and that is how she completes her bang bang trick...hehe
