Hi,
I have some questions. Gracie is 8 months old and our first yorkie.

1. She is skittish and jumpy is this normal?
2. She will not come. What is the best way to train her to come?
3. Is it ok to feed her can food of one brand and dry of another? I would like to feed her can food in the morning and dry in the evening but, I am worried she will refuse to eat the dry. She for the most eats dry. I would like to spoil her a little.

We love her to death. We did not realize that she would be so independent. She has such character. She definitely is smart. If she gets out of the car, she will not come if you call her. If she gets out the door at a friends house she will not come if you call her. At our house she is not on a leash when she goes out. I know she can learn to come but we would like to do it correctly.

Thanks for all you help.

Suzan

P.S. If this seems like it jumps around I apologize. I had my one only wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, so I am on some pain meds and my head is a little foggy.
