A friend of mine called Petsmart to check into training classes for her yorkies and was told that her yorkies were untrainable. The trainer had never even met her yorkies. I was surprised by this. My yorkie did great in class and she just won a prize at Petsmart for performing the best trick.

I recently met a guy in the park who has a 5 month old yorkie. I have been showing him how to train the little guy and within a couple of weeks he can do sit, shake hands, and down like a champ. I showed him leave it and stay and I know next time I see him the pup will be doing leave it and stay like a champ too. I don't know why trainers would tell people that yorkies can't be trained. I don't agree. The ones I have trained have been quick learners.
