Yorkie on the Dog Whisperer
 

Did anyone see the Dog Whisperer today with the Yorkie on it? It was a amazing. Like most Yorkie's.....the little Yorkie on the show ruled the house and he was the boss. (oh....and was sooooo cute too)
The Dog Whisperer said that Yorkies are so cute so their owners let them get away with everything. lol Boy was he right!!!!!!
Anyway it was a great show....just wondering if anyone else watched it?

nope i missed it

Nope, missed it. What exactly did he suggest?

He had some GREAT advise. This particular Yorkie attacked the vacuum cleaner and the ironing board everytime the owner brought them out. He advised the owner to take ownership of the items ....by not allowing the Yorkie to come close to the items when in use. He also said to pick a word or sound to use in discipling. But never use the dogs name when discipling....for example: "NO" do not say, "NO BUDDY". Another good suggestion he had was to reach out to your Yorkie and give a firm "tap/touch" to indicate to your Yorkie that you are in charge. (no force necessary just a firm touch) In this particular espisode the Yorkie would run everytime the owner tried to discipline him from attacking the ironing board so the Dog Whisperer suggested putting him on a leash so the Yorkie could not dart away when she was trying to discipline him. He quickly caught on and realized that his owner was in charge. (I cannot wait to try this because my little guy hates the vacuum cleaner and I can never catch him to discipline him when I am vacuuming....it turns into a chasing game to him). The Dog Whisperer also said that we Yorkie owners are so afraid of hurting our Yorkies feelings because they are very sensitive dogs. He said that showing your Yorkie that you are the dominant one is NOT hurting their feelings.
I hope all this made sense...I am trying to type this and watch my kids in the pool. lol

I missed it, but my hubby recorded it for me! I can't wait to see it!

I may be able to record it for anyone who wants to see it.

lol....that would be disciplining not discipling lol

Oh I missed it!

loved it
 

the only thing i didnt like was the collar and the dog was hacking ... i dont think it was her pulling but the baby was excited could be CT .. and he said she would be fine with a colar ...but switched to a harness he said the gagging noise was to get his way i felt it was ct i love cesar though so cute!:p

I saw this one a while back and then one day I think it is Carol(ARCHIE) whos, Buddy, hates the ironing board and when I read it, it reminded me of that episode
I think it was in ' "What is your yorkie scared of"

I wish I could have seen it. Your story reminds me of my daughter. The other day her and Sammy, running all over the house cause she wanted to take something away from him, it was the funniest thing to watch, like cartoon or something.
Anyway, I'm curious, did he use a collar on him. I think I'd hate for him to use that collar like he does with the big dogs. It makes me nervous cause yorkies are so small.

I didnt see the show but he is right on about yorkie owners myself included

They had it last weekend but it was coming on something like 2 am. I tried to stay up but missed it.

I'm not sure if it shows in my area.

Missed it as well!!! :(

He used a collar and a lead (it looked more like a vinyl rope than a lead) It wasn't one of his correction collars that he uses on the big dogs, it was just to keep the dog near the owner so that he wouldn't run away from her when she was trying to be the dominant one. They switched to a harness, and he still made that noise. I think Cesar is right about it; Paddington makes that noise all the time when I am trying to get him to do something he doesn't really want to, and he only wears a harness. I think he knows that when he makes that sound, I loosen the lead and give him a bit more freedom. It is a conditioned sound. I wouldn't have used that collar though, it would scare me too.
