 Newbie with a question
My hubby got me a 5 month old Yorkie for Valentines Day. When we got him he weighed 3.3 lbs and was told he wouldn't get but a few ounces bigger. Well, he's 4.4 lbs now and 8 months old. Not big by any means but certainly more than I expected. Even the vet was surprised he gained so much. Anywho, this isn't my question.
What I'd like to know is if any of you have the same issues with your Yorkie. Tensley views everything as a negative. It's hard to explain! I can't get him to do anything I want him to do. He knows his commands, fully understands everything I say but if it's not what he wants to do in the here and now he's NOT going to do it. Treat or no treat, he's not doing it! I typically have to threaten him with "butt paper" (he understands that word well) for him to react. It's frustrating because he is so smart! I love this little guy beyond words. I just can't figure out how to get him to listen. I really didn't expect such a small package to contain such a Terrier attitude.
