Need HELP with retraining the yorkie pup. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hey everyone I've been reading here for awhile n think this is the best place to ask for advice.

Pixel, my 8 mnth old pup used to be vry well behaved. At meal time she will sit n wait for my command to let her eat. But recently she will just go ahead n finish it.

She usually doesn't step out the room door as we stay in shared apartment, unless I command her to for a walk. These days she just roam freely.

Esp when she want to play, she'll just take her toy n put it right infront of u n starred at u until u play with her, or she'll give a lil yelp.

I tried to retrain her n anything I could from info I got. But I still do not kno where goes wrong. She seems like testing water n breaking the law more. Maybe caz she think doesn't matter what she do I'll still love her anyway.

We need firm law as we stay in share apartment n if she ill behave, they can take her away. Please advice, I can hear my heart cracking everytime she disobey.

Just remember she's just a pup and will do perfect today and tomorrow they test you to make sure you stay consistent. That is were we get frustrated but stay firm and don't vary and she will do fine again. Don't despair.

I think the other poster meant keep doing what you're doing. At 8 months you pup is in the "teenage" phase. She's going to test the boundaries you have set for her to see how much you're going to give in. Don't change your commands at this point. Use what she's already learned. For example, you are leaving the room and you want her to stay. But she gets up and walks out. Calmly pick her up, place her back into the sit stay and slowly walk away. If she stays, praise her. If she even starts to get up, walk back to her to reinforce the sit stay command. If she's bugging you to play, and you dont want to just ignore her. She'll eventually get the message. But, do set aside some time for you two to play and another time to walk. A bored yorkie is a naughty yorkie.
