umm, that would be Yes, your Yorkie is head huncho. I learned that the hard way too. My Yorkie does bark and become demanding when she wants her way. The water bottle did not work. What works for us is keeping her on her leash- then she knows we can immediately reach her without her running away. I redirect her wants to either sit with me or get her a chew toy. The leash idea is called tethering- you keep them on the leash in the house and they have to go everywhere you go. Also feed them by hand- don't let them eat by themselves. Your feeding them gives you the Alpha position. I have been working with a trainer who didn't see this side of her until she kept her for me for a week. Now she believes me when I say KimMee is bossy and ruler of the house. We are going to try some new techniques this week. As for the crying, mine was really good from the begining and we got her really young. I found she bothered me less and whined less if I put her right outside our bedroom door and I covered her crate/bed with a blanket. Good luck with the training- my sister's Yorkie pees in her bed all the time!!!!!! He seems to do that when he is mad at her. |
