Basically because they are smaller....We don't tend to discipline them for their naughty behavior! They get away with more because of their size and that can lead to behavioral issues!
I always encourage people to view their furbutt as an 80 lb dog... If you wouldn't let your 80 pounder get away with it...don't let your yorkie! Discipline and setting limitations and boundries are a must...to help keep our babies balanced!!! And make sure that YOU are pack leader...walks are the best way to establish dominance..make sure that YOU are leading them...and not the other way around.. Have them walk beside you at all times. That helps them to see you as pack leader.. especially with the dominant ones! That is a must. To have a happy home and a happy yorkie.
Good luck and Good question! :0) |
