Yorkies are self-willed...some will never learn commands or come when called..maybe Victoria Stillwell could get my Becca to obey and come, but I doubt it ..Kate and Pinkie always come when called and sit, walk on the lead..but Becca is Becca and I do not expect her to ever listen to me...so I use a stroller or carrier her, go look for her when I want her, whatever, she calls the shots...
He is a rescue. And he is 6 y/o. He prefers to not have anyone near his mouth (even my vets) so I knew it wouldn't be paradise when I had to try to feed the pill to him.

That's what I've been doing. But, he just uses his tongue to keep pushing it back up.
