[QUOTE=Txgurl06;1311223]its funny because here on YT i have read some many threads about out of control yorkies and yorokies who try to bite and the one the YTers tell them is turn them on their backs and tell them no so you are showing them who the leader is lol and also some say to put them aove your heads in the air and tell them no.
but then on this thread everyone is saying they dont believe in the leader roll or alpha roll.

Good point. I think different people reply more to threads that are more in their vein of belief. I have had dogs that were followers and dogs that were leaders. True, if you've never had an alpha dog, there is no real need for "pack leader" training, and I'm sure that it looks ridiculous because you can't even imagine your baby needing it. Reggie, my current older one is a follower and there is no real need for any of that (except that he is getting crankier and more impatient with age). My previous female Yorkie was an alpha, and Coby is leaning in that direction. Those dogs do need leadership unless you want a spirited but obnoxious dog. As someone said earlier, it's very similar to children and their different needs and learning styles.
In Cesar's training, there are things that I truly believe in and that have been proven to be true in my household. There are also things that I take with a grain of salt.
And I've said before, I think the Yorkies always give him a bigger challenge!
