YouTube training videos

[Darlene68]

I noticed there are many videos on YouTube with tips on various training techniques..Has anyone watched and found them helpful?

[Hollee]

I get my pup Saturday (2 days!) so I have watched quite a few! I like when they beg or sit pretty or whatever you call it, I dunno how I would teach it tho!

[Darlene68]

Lol..I think I will concentrate more on house training before anything else..I've seen some of the videos where the little yorkie does tricks, it is so adorable!! Congrats on the new addition, Only 2 more days, yaayy for you! I can't wait until I get my little guy home!!

Basketball is SO cute - I was planning on teaching Jackson that but don't know where to begin. If you don't mind explaining, how did you train her to do that? Also, where'd you get the little hoop? I looked in the Dollar Store the other day and couldn't find any.

Oh thank you! the hoop I think my bf got at Target, it came with a little basketball, but it wouldn't stay inflated. I forgot how much we paid for it. Maybe $10? We hung the hoop on the back of a piece of luggage, but just find anything about the right height. There are some that come on a stand. (Search Tiger plays basketball on youtube. He's a cute little guy and waaaaaaay more impressive than Uni! He was my inspiration to teach her. If you really wanna see tricks, watch his vids! )

Get the treats ready, throw the ball, have your baby bring it back and point to the hoop, and say drop. (now the command is slam dunk, now that's she's got it) We had to hold the ball just above the rim then dropped it ourselves many many times to show her. It was difficult getting her to actually drop it in the hoop, instead of dropping it right in front of it. Don't lose patience, this trick took us a LONG TIME! make sure they don't wear a collar when you're training for this. She got her's caught and she didn't get close to the basket for a long time. We tried raising the rim so she actually had to stand up to put it in (a real slam dunk) but she only did it a few times, and now she won't do it at all. Oh well. But try it for a few minutes a day and they will eventually get it. i think Uni took about a few weeks! Don't give up!!!

Awesome, thank you so much! Jackson was like that with "bang bang." It took a few weeks of doing it every night for him to finally be consistent with the trick!!! Now he does it before I even say bang bang lol
