You also need to have a command of some sort to tell her that she has to ask nice. Like saying "ask nice" to get her to sit in front of you and ask.
But yorkies are very stubborn so it might take a lot of patience before she learns. |
when i push her off (assuming she's not turning her back to me
) she will sit there looking like "mommy, please pleasepleasepleaseplease!!!) so i give her the signal to come up. is that what you mean?

ok, i switched the command to "off" and she got it and i didn't have to push her off ... i think you're right, she had learned a different command and i confused the two
so i think we're getting back on track...
thanks!!
