Talking Back... Hello; I am wondering if anyone else has a mouthy Yorkie? My girl knows what NO means but she dont like hearing it! She literally talks back and I have very unbecoming video of her doing it but too ashamed to show it! :thumbdown She will stop whatever I am saying NO for but then she ACTS as if shes going to do it again and barks like a pure diva and I dont appreciate it! :mad: She just started this recently - had about 5 episodes. Today - I recorded one to show her Daddy before he bought her anything. He bought her two dresses and I told him not to buy her NOTHING ELSE until she gets over this whole teenager thing? Its how shes acting! He dont listen. :( Testing boundaries and really acting like A BRAT! Im ashamed to show the video because shes such a sweet girl and the video really puts her in a bad light. She shouldnt be acting this way! It just started. Anyone had this experience? How did you deal with it in showing him/her that NO means NO and not to talk back like this? I am funny about behavior - all of my human babies are very well raised. She will also be a good girl or else! I need to convey this because there is no else - empty threat. |
My Muffin would talk back. It was so cute!:p It wasn't for bad behavior. She was usually playing or begging! |
Conner talks back to us all the time. We think it is adorable. When I tell him no, he will look right at me a bark a few times, then go back and do what he was doing. My mother laughs at his "talk back". I haven't really tried to get him out of it because I think it is so adorable (and he is 2 1/2 years old and has talked back since he was 12 weeks).:D |

Jackson and Tucker {both boys} talk back and also know the meaning of NO and when you say the word they dont't much care for it....but it is rather entertaining:D I will than just be firm but all my yorkies own my house I just live here:D |
Both of mine do it haha If Duke is barking like crazy and I tell him to stop, he does it to where you can barely hear him, like he's trying to get the last word:p Lucie does it when we tell her no haha I think it's cute. Usually she's just trying to get us to play with her. |
Both Boo and Gracie are very vocal about everything. They chirp and yammer and whoof and snort in addition to their different barks. But little Miss Gracie Ruth Diva Queen of the World, sasses back when scolded. And not just vocally, she toss her head back and forth to be sure I understand her displeasure. And if really miffed will turn and walk away swinging her bum and tossing her head whoofing the whole time. LOL!! The look on her face the first time I followed her, picked her and got right in her face was priceless. :eek::eek: Of course as soon as I was done letting her know exactly who was pack leader in this house I had to go outside and laughed until I had tears coming down my face. :D Little stinkerett!! It's so hard to discipline her when she does such cute antics, but I really don't want her to start thinking the sun rises and sets on her...even if it really does. :p I guess just like kids, you need to pick your battles. It doesn't take anything more then a stern look and a snap of the fingers now and she'll, begrudgingly, straighten up. Just be consistent, if it's NO one time, it's always got to be NO. |
So I should let up on her? Thanks Y'all - I dont feel like such a push over Mama now. :wub: Here - I'll show the video then yall will know if this is just how Yorkies are or of shes getting all diva on me. Not going to be a lil diva! :thumbdown I want to spoil her and treat her as a diva - dont get me wrong. But I want her to know her place! And be a good girl. :animal-pa This is us at bedtime - trying to get her to settle down like always. She sleeps with us now that shes making it through the night for so long. No accidents yet. She wants the remote and Im saying NO - this is her reaction. (I have to agree/admit - very cute when they talk back but want to be able to control her behavior - if need be when this would NOT go over well hehe.) :rolleyes: Im trying very hard to sound like I mean it but its sooo hard looking at their lil faces! :p Heres the link! :animal-pa (YouTube says its 'processing') |
I can't get the video to work. :( |
It says the video is no longer available |
Youtube is slow today - its processed and should work OK now. Thanks for watching! :animal-pa |
:eyetearss:lol tears:lol tears Oh that is soooo what Gracie does too. Yep, little Diva's the pair of them. :eyetearss:lol tears |
It's working now, what a little cutie, I know Joey sure barked up a storm when I played it. I don't know if you're interested, but if you really ever do plan on training, less talking is probably better. Repeating the word "no" over and over is a sure way to get them to ignore you. ;) |

You should use a more stern voice... they go by your tone.. so if you're babying her she thinks she's being a good girl.. I have also found that asking her to be a good girl wont help.. I tell her shes a giid girl when she actually is being a good girl... and she associates it with being good and getting a treat... so if I said "you be a good girl..." while she was barking, she would think barking was going to get her a treat. But yep you've got a pretty standard yorkie baby there.. just be stern and consistent and she'll learn. |
Oh that is hilarious |

I tried what yall said! One stern NO and she came up and started giving me bunches of kisses! haha (This episode was her wanting to bite my fingers as I try to crop images) Then went and laid down - I got to stop babying her - think it may have scared her. Shocked her at least. I didnt say it loud - but stern. :eek: Thanks ! |
My mom's pom does this.... and she growls and kinda looks away from you like she's testing us!! omg its so cute but at the same time so darn devious, lol.... all i can say is SPOILED!!!! my mom spoils the heck out of her always has, we all did since she was the only little one in the house until Shelby came along :) but yes, i definitely think its got a lot to do with how high and mighty they feel.... i dont think it ever goes away or if u can even teach them to stop.... GOOD LUCK, though! |
Roxy has a major case of attitude going on! She has the little growlie thing down pat. She barks next. Then comes the foot stomping and back leg kicking. Finally, she gives a few big huffs and stomps off. Typical teenage girl. Remi is just Remi. He just goes with the flow. He only get his helium snorting howl when he's super excited about something. But he doesn't talk back. I never thought to take a video of it, tho. Your's is so cute. She's definitely testing you. |
haha when I played the video, Lucie was staring at the laptop screen trying to figure out where the dog was. I give her a stern No when she is trying to go after things like the laptop cord, and if she's in a spunky mood she talks back, I find that taking the laptop cord (or whatever it may be) away and ignoring her barking usually gets her to stop really quick. |
Shew - so nice to know I havent created a monster! :D |

She is bullying me at this very moment! The stern ONE NO! Is working in keeping her 'back' but she pouches forward like she is GOING to lick my hand then runs back barking. Ew - shes a BRAT! This is only a computer and bird issue - otherwise she doesnt do it. So - its jealousy induced. She is jealous of the computer and the bird as they take up a fraction on my time. I am hers - I should know this by now. :rolleyes: |

I wish I could record that Macaw sound Maya makes if I ignore her too long. |
