I spent a few months and bought every yorkie book available for weeks, since my office is in my home, I knew I had better be up on training her. I think the greatest thing I learned from reading was....never encourage barking and I have not. Never, ever do I say something like, asking her to speak for her food or who is at the door, etc.....and it has worked for me. Which is a real blessing as I'm on the phone 75 percent of my day.
Heck, who am I kidding everything came from those books and the knowledgeable people her on YT! So glad I found this site! |
I mean it! I am really, really hoping.
Thank you for that. I want to instill this in my new baby and in Layla. She barks a lot and that's a gigantic problem because my boyfriends mother works from home as you do...and there is a big conflict in this aspect. We can't ever leave her home if she is working and that makes it impossible for us to freely do things. I don't think a dog should be able to hold you back from going to a place because of behavioral issues. So we want to work on correcting her behavior as well as instill it in our newest addition.
