We have been working for about one year on, staying out of the kitchen when our family has dinner. My BRT's took about 4wks to obey the commands, and these dogs are highly food motivated. cough cough, Razz on the other hand, enjoys defying my command. He is very cute, in his way to try to sneak back into the kitchen. And he works his cuteness. did I mention he was stubborn |
Well wouldn't that be the ideal personality of a Yorkshire Terrier?
All kidding aside, thanks for the response. I understand a tad bit more. It seems a yorkie, whether show or not, whether fearful or outgoing still has basic elements in their personality of a terrier. My pup is fearful, but he does all of the quoted above. Oh geez... does he keep sneaking into the kitchen. I have stories to tell!
BUT! Even with all his crazy quirks and an undesirable personality (I'm convinced in any other home, he would have been re-homed twice by now) I have a feeling agility is going to be his thing. For the most part he's eager to please, and we "practice" in an empty jungle gym. He does everything he is asked without a bigger reward than a good boy.
