I'd stop giving him the nylabones. Healthy Edibles are a safer option, as they are made to be digestible.
I also suggest teaching your yorkie the "leave it" command. You will be able to say this from any where and he will know to leave whatever has his interest alone.
Put your yorkie on leash. Have someone put down bits of food, hot dog, or whatever gets his interest, down on the floor in different areas. Walk him by the temptations, and when he goes to sniff them or look at them, say "Hey" or "Ah Ah" sharply. Follow by saying "leave it" when he looks away from the distraction and praise praise praise!
Practice this in any and all rooms, and even in the yard! You never know when this will come in handy! |
