A dog that doesn't want to come to you on any level if frightened would be very difficult to teach the 'come' command. I'm not saying your Yorkie is but could be if you try to use this method.
I remember working with my first Yorkie by letting her know that I had a piece of cheese in the hand that I held the leash. She just realized following it that she was walking at her own pace with no stops or pulls to get somewhere else, it worked beautifully. I usually carried a full square of cheese so she could see it but half way through the walk, I gave her a small piece as a treat and then at the end of the walk as well.
These dogs are so smart and want to please in most cases. Crystal had her championship and was used to a lease but I trained her to visit the Children at our Children's Hospital and that was intensive training. She was so laid back like some of the Labs that is was easy.
Believe me the cheese idea was my own, no trainer taught me to do it that way but it worked for me. |
