I am planning on crate training this way Kopper has a very safe place to rest and to aid in house training. I have the crate and a bed as well as some blankets that will be just his. I am going to keep him on the food the breeder has him on Royal Canin. I am going tomorrow to get his food as well as food and water bowl. Are there any treats or toys best for our yorkie baby? I am a stay at home mom so will be here pretty much all day every day. Please let me know if I forgot anything in preparation for our little guy. We are just so excited about our new edition!!!!! |
I got my first yorkie, Chelsea, when my kids were 3 (son) & 5 (daughter). It was a wonderful experience for them being raised with a lil dog.
I've found the best treats for reinforcing training, both pottying & commands, is pieces of cooked chicken, carrots & cheerios. No need for store bought treats, and most probably safer & healthier for your pup too!
ZoE has been on Royal Canin from the get-go and has done really well on it, so I highly recommend the food. As for toys, I've found squeaky latex toys (not vinyl) are great for fetch, and skinneeez are great for a good shaking or tug game.
