I have a 9 months old 4lb female Yorkie. I have watched and followed Cesare Millan Dog Whisperer's advice for obedience and training my Yorkie.

I am finding it difficult to figure how to give a stronger correction to her. Normally I try to use either the clapping of the hands or a strong 'shhhhht' sound to give a correction when she is doing something I don't want her to do. As she is becoming a 'teenager' this type of verbal correction is not as efficient anymore. I walk her with a "Buddy Belt" harness because of the Yorkie's soft neck and would like some advice as to how to give a proper correction to her. Would a tug on the Buddy Belt be as efficient as a neck collar? I don't want to correct her using a neck collar due to the collapsing trachea issue in Yorkies.

Any advise is highly appreciated.
