Training is key. Some are under the misguided perception that Yorkies are adults at one year old. Like the fur which does not fully develop until three years of age, a Yorkie does not truly become 'adult' until around five.
You need to check out obedience classes and/or a behaviorist. When we try to solve a problem and we're not sure where it stems from, so we try to solve it incorrectly, we stick ourselves in a vicious loop which is not helpful for us or the dog.
Local shelters will give recommendations for trainers which are used to ensure dogs are adoptable and can confirm fees or assist with them.
Good luck. |
