I hope you get that baby, you would be a great mommy. My Yorkie Daisy was wild when she was a puppy but with a lot of love and attention and working on obedience training every day (with treats) and obedience school, she is now at age 6 the best behaved pup I have ever had. She will do anything I ask her to do. Actually she has been very well behaved from about age 3 or so with the work I have done with her. We take daily walks and practice our training every day.

One thing I have done to let her know that I am the boss is to hold her and only release her when "I" want to. If she squirms to get down I tell her I will let her down when I get ready to. That is a trick that our obedience trainer told me about and I think it has done a lot of good.

She used to take off like a wild thing and run the neighborhood if she got out of the gate (very scary) but now she will walk anywhere by my side unleashed. She will come directly to me when I tell her to come or just hold out my hands. She will stop in her tracks when I tell her to stop. I have never raised my voice to her or said a harsh word to her. It was all done with a lot of love and TREATS! I talk to her a lot and she always listens and she actually seems to know what I am saying. If I tell her to potty or poop she will do it. If I tell her to eat her food, she will go eat. If I tell her to go to bed, she will do it. We are devoted to each other. I love this baby so much.

By the way...Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I hope you will stick around and let us know how the little one is comng along.
