hiii !!!! im new to yorkie talk and so far im lovin it..
im a new yorkie mommy as well - its tough cuz i swear its like havin a child around.
one tip that really helped when we first got our two puppies (we also got a jack russel - ten times more hyper than a york) about an hour or so before bedtime we would play with them nonstop - make them run around like crazy, that way they would be worn out - for the most part they slept throughout the nite which was wonderful.
as far as gettin her to sit, try holdin a small treat in your hand, let her smell it and possibly just lick it once or twice just to get the taste of it. then say "sit".. obviously she wont automatically do it, but thats where you come in, gently push her booty down a bit until she gets the point to sit, once she does you praise her and give her the treat... repeat this a few times for a couple of days and she'll get it right... its all about repitition.
congrats & welcome to motherhood !!!!
ps. be happy that they dont grow too fast, you get to enjoy those puppies moment a whole lot longer =) |
