I wish people would read about the breed before buying a yorkie...they bark. That is their nature.
They are very effective watchdogs...why? because they bark! So people shock them when they are doing what they have a natural tendency to do? I am sorry if I sound harsh, but seriously, I think that is wrong on so many levels.
I have one that was a rescue...she was in a shelter still wearing a shock collar. I did not know why. After about a week, I found out. She screams...it is not just a bark. That is her! Oh..I have toned her down with patience and time...but it is her way! When I first put a collar on her, she moped around all day.....I finally figured out why. She thought she was going to be shocked again. Very sad.
Just my thoughts...I know many would disagree. I just had to say it. |
