With being a new Yorkie owner comes a lot of paitence!! And love and understanding!

All Yorkie pups are different...different sizes, different attitudes, different personalities, different learning speed, etc. -- just like a child!

Mojo is my cuddle love bug...loves to dress up, loves bows, is quiet and does not bark at random things....and he is a boy! Ha

LilyGrace, on the other hand, is LOUD, barks at anything and everything, does not like to dress up, likes to cuddle, but it is a work in progress with her...will NOT keep a bow in her hair. All of these...over time, she is gradually getting better. Her personality and attitude are sooooo different from what I was use to with Mojo....but I do NOT love her any less!

Just give a lot of praises with any training accomplishments.....give her lots of time and attention!

I know potty training a Yorkie is always an issue....paitence and praise and treats are always key! Mine were both trained on washable pee pads....but since I am home all the time....they are use to going outside when needed. They will sit by the door, if I don't see them, they will whine so I know they are there. All I ever did was take them outside, said "go potty", let them walk around, etc...when I called them in, first thing I say is "want chewie" and give them a treats (whether it be a small Yorkie Yummy, a piece of cheese or fruit, etc)....they learned...hey, if we go out and do our business, come back when called...we get a goody.... but it takes time!
