I shed a few tears that first year.
Having a schedule of daily activities, a routine, is reassuring and calming for dogs. Try to serve meals, have short play sessions, and do things at about the same time each day.
I limited roaming room in my house with baby gates and xpens. This helps with potty training and general training.
Maybe try separating the boys a little when trying to train and groom?
Stick to a limited diet. If you feed kibble, use the kibble for rewards. This will help prevent tummy problems. I also use tiny bits of steamed plain chicken breast.
Grooming and walking on leash are all things that take time and loads of patience to train for with a Yorkie. Maintaining a calm demeanor even when it seems hopeless is important. These dogs can read out anxiousness and they tend to react negatively to it. |
I agree with the above....BUT if you are not able to keep them and work with them, please don't beat yourself up. It is not for everyone and breeders usually fail at educating people about what they may face.
If you need help turning these pups over to a rescue, feel free to send me a message. OR you can email
