Another thing: yorkies are smart and stubborn! So while that makes them easy to train, they are also apt to choose not to do something, which can make things a little more difficult. Rules & consistency are the key; otherwise you end up with a little brat! (For example, my dad refuses to discipline Sunny; hence Sunny is completely dominant over him. His new thing is he's decided my dad isn't allowed to nap- when he sees his eyes start to close he gives a little bark. He doesn't want food/play/potty, he just wants his eyes open. And since he isn't corrected this continues.) |
