lol.. that's too cute about the kitchen banning, matese! Way to think outside the box. hehe.. I find we're constantly having to 'problem solve' with these kiddos. They challenge us and force us to be creative with our solutions.
But totally agree! They need constantly daily training. My two actually love training time. It's like a game to them because treats are involved.
And make it interesting too. Don't just give treats during training time. Give commands throughout the day, sometimes giving treats, sometimes not. Keep them on their toes.
They say dogs/Yorkies have the mentality of a 2 or 3-year old child. So, it's no wonder they need constant reminders.
