I agree with just about everythin the TJDMOM has said except....I would reward with a treat. I am bringing my girls for training now and the one thing the trainer said was reward and praise! Eventually you can wean off the treats.....If you call them to you and you don't have anything for them as a reward they won't want to come to you. Yorkies (as we all know) are stubborn little devils and have a mind of their own. I have been working with the girls for 3 weeks now and they are doing pretty good with the sit/stay, waiting for their treat and their barking. The "come" is a little more difficult. But, they are getting it. They do really well inside but, with the horrible weather we have been having I haven't worked much outside with them...today is the day we are going out to do our training....
