 No real punishment
Thank you all for the advice. I am going to have to invest some time is looking this site over thoroughly.
To answer question, yes, I have a crate for Lick, and I have put him in it for infractions. He is so comfortable in it, instead of a time out, he usually just goes to sleep.
Overall, what I am getting is that there really isn't punishment, just redirection. All bad behavior is a training oppurtunity for the correct action?
From what I have read here, Yorkies seem to have a behavior all their own, and the general methods may need some tweaking for best results. I have a start for some retraining on my part, and more training for Lick.
Thanks for the help so far.
