i wanted to add one of my original questions to you, which is, what kind of obedience training have you tried with trixie. have you taken her to any obedience classes? either group or individual?

a course on obedience training can be very helpful. not only does it help train your yorkie, it helps to train you to become a better trainer for your yorkie. experienced instructors can probably give you better ideas on what to try and how to do it.

i took my puppy to his first obedience class when he was 10 weeks old. i wanted to get it right from the start. we reviewed things from biting inhibition, potty training, separation anxiety, aggression, guarding, socialization to basic obedience commands like sit, stay, heel, loose leash walking, drop it, leave it, wait, take it, and down. it's definitely been a great help to both me and to my puppy. it's definitely helpful to have an instruction SHOW ME what i can do to correct a problem. i'm looking forward to taking him to the next set of obedience classes!
