1. Yes, this is normal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think grass helps digestion. Watch what he eats though, don't let him eat stuff he shouldn't be.
2. I can't help you with this one, my yorkie Henri sleeps in my bed at night. I'm sure someone will post with an answer.
3. This takes training to fix, you need to be persistent and patient.
4. He is probably teething right now. The best thing to do is sternly say no and give him a toy to chew on, his little teeth are sore so he will chew a lot to make it feel better.
5. Again, this takes: time, training, persistence, and lots of patience. It will take a while but if you keep at it he will learn.
6. Not much experience in this one, Henri has always been a good walker. On the few occasions when Henri wouldn't move I will usually just give a tug (light so it won't hurt him but hard enough so he feels it) to the leash and say "come", if that doesn't work I usually just keep walking and he will get the idea.
7. Training, training, training!
8. Yorkies are very a affectionate breed and always want to be with you. It could also be that he is still a puppy and puppies need lots of love and attention, he might let up when he is older.
Puppies are hard work, it takes a lot of time and patience. If you take the time to properly train him, he will become a very well behaved dog and a great companion. Good luck! |
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I really appreciate your answers and they really help! He is 10 weeks old, so is it okay to start training now? Do you know where to get a clicker training kit? Our vet recommended it to us, and we are going to PetSmart this weekend so I was wondering if it's there??
Your Yorkie Henri sounds fantastic! I only hope Jasper will grow up to be the same!
I will try the walking tip tommorrow... Hopefully it works out! Because I know taking your dog on a walk is very important and I need him to learn the proper way to do it and enjoy the walks.
I hope he will stop following me around... A girl just gotta pee on her own sometimes without a dog whining at the door.
Again, thank you so much!!!!
