Tips I get from Cesar Millan
You absolutely CANNOT give the yorkie ANY affection while the bad behavior goes on. AND you must correct the behavior as SOON as it happens. Don't yell as this just makes the dog nervous. Behavior correction simply means that you command the dog's complete attention at that time so that she understands who's boss.
You must:
1) Always walk the yorkie to help him deal with having a lot of energy.
2) Walk AHEAD of him. You are the leader, not the other way around.
3) Correct the action AS SOON as it happens..... not even one second later.
4) Be calm and assertive.
5) Only give him affection when he behaves.
Strategically witholding affection IS NOT the same as lack of love. You will still treat your yorkie very well. But you will be leading him by acting in ways dogs understand. So you must be their "pack leader." |
