Wow... it sounds pretty common to have to have it done, then. thank you everyone for all the responses. I feel a little bit better about it now. My friend, who's had yorkies for around 8 years, says she usually waits a little, and gives good chewies and plays tug o war etc. Just to see if they can work it out on their own. But sometimes it doesn't work. I'll give it a little longer... but not very much.
thanks again.
