The book I always bring up, Your Yorkshire Terrier's Life, tells you what basic commands your yorkie should be able to do and how to teach them. It took me about 1/2 day to teach Chloe, who was about 3 months at the time. Those are sit, down, stay, come, Walk on the leash and heel. She will also fetch her ball. I tried to train Lacey the same way and she mastered fetch, the rest of the time she just wants to be cute, so I let her. It is just too easy to catch her, or carry her,she's so small. I confess I would love to teach mine how to smile, that is so cute. |
