What I would say is that before deciding on any one particular training method evaluate your little yorkie's individual personality. My little Bruce is almost 7 months and far from being completely trained...I got as frustrated as you until I really obsserved that well as much as I hate to admit it, I over coddled him and made him a little attention whore! Now when he is doing something I find unacceptable I just ignore him completly until his behavior is back on track...This has worked very well because (a) he hates to be ignored and (b) if I ignore him for like a full hour he will do what I want like sit or stay, etc to get my attention. As far as the housebreaking my baby has accidents with relative frequency still, but I leave wee wee pads around the house and use a hormone spray on them to attract him, plus I have gotten him on a schedule for walks which has really helped a lot! |
