Cody is # 9 of small breed dogs I have owned, 4 of which have been yorkies, what I have learned is, dogs are creatures of habit. Once you start something with them you MUST always GIVE or DO. The huge mistake I made with ALL my passed girls was feeding them from my plate while I was eating, so this became a nightly thing or ELSE. Cody came to me with MANNERS, he NEVER approached the table when I ate, and it has stayed that way and he does not beg for table food. Now treats is another thing. YT has taught me "nothing in life is free" it must be earned, 8PM I put Cody through all his commands and tricks and THEN he gets his treat. 8 PM ON THE NOSE, if I have not asked "what time is it" I get the STARE, if that doesn't work I get the porpoise whines, if that doesn't then I get the barking lol. So folks remember, what you start you will for life HAVE to give or do lol.
