I am a firm beleiver that many people waste money on pro trainers to train their dogs. It may take much longer to train him because he is used to having someone else as his alpha male.
Patience, treats, and be firm. If you want him to lay, put some pressure on his shoulders, give treat say good boy repeat. If you want him to come, attach a 10 foot string to his collar and say come, pull lightly, come, pull lightly, treat and praise repeat.
Those are the basics, anything more than that and you may be over working your pup. 30 minutes of concentrated training a day is about all you want to expose your yorkie too before they get frustrated and stressed. After all that comes the best time of the day...play time!
Cheerios and a firm but possitive approach do wonders. |
