 Thank you Alaskayorkie
I agree, it doesn't take much to hurt a tiny yorkie neck...
I am definitely going to try the treat training, and look into clicker training. I've tried to read about it before. It confuses me. I'm such a visual person, I need someone to be here to SHOW me! I don't have sound on my computer either, so it's hard to tell what's happening on those videos. But I will try to find out more.
Thanks so very much for the help. I know obedience training is what can make the difference between a dog that you tolerate and one you can truly enjoy! I find the dogs seem to enjoy having a task, too. My shelties (years ago) loved working. The labs...hmmm... they are happier just sitting by me and having their backs scratched. But they are food motivated, so they have had some obedience.
have a great day...
