I have actually had some success with this, I pretty much went back to basics and retrained him using positive reinforcement. Every time he goes on the mat he gets a treat and praise. From what I understand Yorkies respond very well to positive reinforcement and I know mine does. Now he will just go the tiniest squirt on the mat to get a treat so he really does understand! Another thing that helped is I boiled chicken and gave him little pieces of that instead of his regular biscuit so it was something more exciting to him to be working for. I hope this helps! |
