| Yorkie training! I have 2 Yorkies Keisha is a 8pd, 3yr old, and is smart as a whip, she understands everything I tell her though she is stubborn, she sits, rolls over lays down,shakes paws,dances, barks on command ect, she notices everything that goes on in the house and never misses a thing and wants her ball thrown 24/7 if I would throw it. Jersey is 3.3 pd, 1yr old, she is docile, quiet, sleeps alot. I have tried to teach her tricks, she can sit and shake one paw, thats it, when I try to teach her anything else she runs away, she still isn't house trained and I don't think she will ever get it. She is my lap baby and would rather give me a hug than do anything else. But I am a little worried about her, sometimes I think she has a bit of a learning disability, could this be true, she is my baby, I don't think I have done anything different with her, any comments? |

| Sounds like you have done a GREAT job with Keisha. Maybe you just haven't found the right way to communicate with her, or maybe she just isn't interested. Yorkies can be a training challenge! Just keep on keeping on and sooner or later you two will get it all figured out |

| I think they just learn differently. This little one sounds like she is just more laid back and easy going, that could make it harder to teach her. I don't think it's an intelligence issue as much as just personality differences. |
