Yorkie "Terriers" the operative word is a stubborn breed as most terriers, repetition and calm reactions take time and enormous amount of patience because the breed is super smart! Sable is defiantly challenging so I ignore her attitude some times I growl like the pack which works wonders remember we are the pack leaders not the dog so things like not letting them fun ahead on a walk, making them wait to be after you when exiting the door and staying constant with the rules makes a huge respect difference! Never think of your Yorkie in human terms they are dogs and relate to the world with a pack mentality, the leader "you" sets the standard of appropriate behavior, if the dog controls the human then they do becomes more insecure and elevates the unwanted behavior.
Regarding the car situation: you decide what you want, looking out the window is your choice and if you want the dog to sit in the carrier on the floor it makes no difference as long as the dog understands that it is what is expected! Reward with praise and not always with treats!
Good luck pack leader! You can do it!😀🐶❤️ |
