Yorkies are easy to train. Bills is his name, always has been his name... He has certainly lived up to his name. I knew he would be expensive to keep him well cared for but it is worth it. Bills is my companion 24/7. I am disabled and he is a great friend, he keeps me in good spirits. Bills is 8 years old and 16 pounds. Diabetes gave him cataracts and I had cataract surgery done for him, unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Even as a blind dog he gets around just fine and is very happy. As a puppy he was not exceptionally easy to train compared to other Yorkies I have had but as he mellowed and learned more words he became very easy to train. After he lost his sight I taught him left, right, step up and step down all in a day. He already knew stop. When it comes to something he doesn't want to do he will look at me and I have to repeat the instructions then he lowers his head and does it as slow as possible but he does it. Maybe it is easier for me to train my dogs because I spend all day with them. My wife and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YORKIES & Bills is AMAZING! I hope you enjoy the pictures. I hope I can figure out how to post multiple pictures. They were too large or failed.

I hope you all love your Yorkies as much as they love you.
