Funny thing is I don’t even own a Yorkie yet, and I really get irritated when people say this. Two were strangers, a guy at Lowes and a woman at fabric store. I’m building and making things for my new family member and people are saying he’s gonna be mean, I just feel like biting them! |
Thanks Nancy. Coco is 1 year and a half. I got Coco at almost 11 weeks old and I started teaching her from the first week I had her. I wanted to always keep her mind stimulated and she is so smart. Yorkies in general are sooo smart. I think when people get lazy and aren't consistent enough with the training, they blame the poor dog. Calling it mean or not smart. But as long as you're consistent they want to please. It has never ever taken Coco more than 10 minutes to learn a trick. I just stay consistent with her over the course of the upcoming weeks. I think you'll do great and don't listen to those who say they're mean. Any dog is mean if it's not socialized and trained. Actually any ANIMAL can be mean.
