While I was whining about potty issues, someone mentioned their obedience training accomplishments. Oops! I had totally forgoten about that. Well, yesterday I started at mealtime using kibble. Mr. Peebody learned "turn around" in like 2 minutes. This evening (his 3rd training session) he finally got "sit", and is improving on "up".

His third day home, I could tell he understood the pee pad concept. Super smart. I've never been a fan of super smart dogs, I'm too lazy. Don't want to have to out-think my dog. Usually prefer cute, dumb and cuddly. BUT, I am looking forward to discovering all the things Mozzi can master!

He already seems to be mastering me quicker than I'm mastering him. Look out folks!

Very cute name for yours too! Yes yorkies are very smart and they def know how to work you! those eyes!

Don't expect miracles or anything with the babies as they have very short attention spans and under-developed memory centers and major in forgetting things but short, repetitive, positive-reward sessions will eventually get you where you want to be with your puppy.

Great advice.
