Thanks Morgan, I had forgotten that my now three grown kids were once toddlers!! Grammy has never steered me wrong!
To OP as Morgan and many others have stated there are many alternative methods of training without hurting or traumating the poor pup. My Jersey is just 4mths and she already knows going near the back gate is a no no. As I mentioned earlier she did get out twice...after the second near heart attack that I had, anytime she went near the gate, I stood in front of the gate and told her in a firm voice NO! After the fourth attempt at ecsape my girl did a u-turn and has not been near it since!!
I suprised myself at how simple it was! Yorkies are extremly bright and learn very quickly...you CAN teach boundaries, the electric fence is not needed. Time and patience is what is needed to teach your pup what you want.
