hello hello all, I am new to the forums here. I will be getting my Yorkie in two weeks. I do work full time and have been debating getting two. I really only want one to begin with, however I am wondering if I should get two for the dogs sake so that he will not be lonely while i am at work during the day. How much harder is it to train a 2nd dog other than the obvious, twice as hard...Any wisdom and experiences anyone will share would be great. Thank You |
IMO, if you can afford two then get two. I got my two 6 weweks apart, and it wasn't any harder to train two than one, in fact the younger one seemed to catch on quicker. I trained them to pee pads, and outdoors. I have recently put in a doggie door, and they love it and so do I. I do still keep them confined to the kitchen except in the evening when I am watching TV. They like to be on my lap. |
Hello and welcome to Yorkie Talk. :) I got Baxter several months after Snickers. I found it easier to have one trained already before I got a second. Baxter didn't train as fast as I expected. Even though he had Snickers to learn from, it took him awhile to 'get' it. :aimeeyork |
Hi! And welcome to YT:) I can't help you with the question on if it's harder to train 2 versus one as my Gabby was 8 years old when we rescued Gage (he's almost 2) - I've always just had one at a time to train but I LOVE having 2:):) Hope you'll post more and when you get your baby, we'd love to see pictures:) |
I would get 2 if you can swing it financially. Then they have each other for company when your not home and you have 2 to love!! |
Welcome to YorkieTalk . |
I say, go for two.... everyone needs a buddy... d |
