He should learn to behave himself and stay on the porch w/o being tied up while you take care of your birds. I doubt it would hurt him to come along w/ you but it would be another excellent chance for you to teach him and very important command..
Sit..
Stay.(And besides imagine if one of your birds got loose and he got in the way and he was hurt or imagine if he got a hold of one! Yike!
) It will probably take him quite a while to learn this for a couple of reasons. One he loves you so much he wants to be w/ you 24/7, he's a hyper little Yorkie and bc it's a very hard command for our fur babies to learn. You
must speak very firmly when you give him his commands (in a voice you would normally never use around him any other time. Basically so he knows you mean business) And keeping a focused eye contact will increase your ability to prove to him that you're the boss and he needs to listen! Just remember that when you're speaking to someone it's only a common courtesy for them to look you right in the eye so you know they're listening. If they were just staring glancing around the whole time and even talking to passersby and fidgeting wouldn't you feel offended bc they were'nt listening?
Well, it's the same idea w/ our pups. Harley caught on very quickly to his sit and stay command bc I used his favorite treat,
carrots, as a positive reinforcer and reward once he correctly obeyed my commands.
I hope this helps! Good luck w/ him! He's just too adorable!
