| I can't believe how smart! Wow! These little babies are so smart! Delilah is only 6 months old and she knows so much already! She totally understands me when I talk to her. I ask if she wants to go outside to pee pee and her ears perk up and she runs to the back door. I ask if she wants to play and she runs and gets a toy and throws it at me. I ask if she is hungry and she runs to where I feed her and stares up at where her plate is (yes, she eats off of her own plate because she won't dare to stick her face in a dog bowl!) She knows "sit" when I give her a treat. Now we need to work on "come" or "stop" because once she is outside, she runs around like a jackrabbit and I just can't catch her! She is my little "slippery soap!" She only comes in when she decides! Anyway, I am just so proud of her and wanted to share with you!!

| I agree!! Yorkies are smart!! Chloe seem to understand when I talk to her also. "Where is your toy?" Then she will go to her toy box and pick out one to play with me. If I decide to ignore her, she will place the toy closer to me, like on my toes or lap....or she will go pick out a different toy..."You wanna go potty?" Then she will run to the door....."You wanna a treat?" Of course she will start running towards me...When she see her toothbrush..she will be all excited to have her teeth brush....When my fiance and I argue..she will be hiding away from us! LOL...I just love Yorkie!!!! |

| so smart! you must be good with training so the "come" and "stop" should come easily. the trick i have used on 2 past dogs plus my new little dexter is to keep treats with you when outdoors and give them a tiny bit of a treat everytime you call them and they come. practice when there are no other dogs around if you have her out at a park and slowly try it closer and closer to other dogs. i find dexter (4 1/2 months) will now not even be interested in going to play with other pups until he sits beside me and gets a treat and i tell him he can go play where he used to just take off running after anything that moved! i find it takes on average about 3 days to almost fully get the concept that "come" = treat...depending on how much time is dedicated to the training. i have used this on a chinese crested, lab and yorkie and had worked wonders on all 3! good luck and im sure it will be a breeze with such a smart baby! |

| Just wait until your pup figures out how to get out of her kennel! Izzy loves to take her naps during the day on our sofa, so at night when she is in her kennel and we are sleeping, she somehow moves the handle and gives herself freedom so she can snooze on the couch instead. We woke up in the middle of the night to her trying to jump on our the other night, I think she was proud of her accomplishment and wanted to tell mommy and daddy. She isnt fully housebroken yet so she needs to be in her kennel at night. We've even tried tying a string to the handle so she cant lift it, and it still dosent stop her! At LEAST she hasnt had an accident during her escape. yet. I can't believe at 5 months old she could figure this out. I try not to give her the reward of my laughing or petting her when she does this, but her expression when she wakes us up is so halarious I cant stop but laugh. |
