Just be consistent with saying Max, and say it often. Pair it with good things like petting, feeding, praising.

I agree! I changed both of my adults when I adopted them. Molly used to be Holly and my Max

used to be Austin. Use lots of positive reinforcements! For awhile I called Max "Austin Max" so that he was used to hear Max with his name and I eventually dropped the Austin, so now he knows his name is Max.

He is a cutie... and I definitely think he could pull off being a Max.

he's an adorable yorkie- but then again, aren't they all?
he does look extra awesome tho!
when dexter was adopted, i changed his name from Becks (short for beckham) to Dexx/dexter; from day one he responded to it- but then again that might have just been because he wold run to anyone willing to love him!
he also has some 'barking at men' issues, even 2 years on (my own fault for not going to classes i supose, but once they sit down and he has a sniff hes grand)... classes are great!
congrats on your new

baby!

I just adopted 2 8 month old male yorkies and they responded to their new names very fast. Max and Timmy.. they were both named Mickey for some reason so I had to rename one anyway... why not both I figured.

Congrats he looks adorable. He looks like a yorkie to me.

I couldn't be sure if he has a collar and leash or harness and leash. If a collar, a harness is much safer for him

Vinniedoggy · 12-01-2010, 04:01 PM

Definitely a yorkie! And thank you for adopting!! You've just given a very lucky little guy his fur-ever home.

mandyja · 12-01-2010, 05:37 PM

That was a picture of before recieved him. His collar didn't even fit him and was in horrible condition. We did get a harness=)

Im so happy with him. He has very, very dry skin and a lot of "dandruff" looking flakes on him-even after a grooming. I really don't know what to do. I went to the vet but didnt even notice it when I went because that was before his hair was cut off..

I had plans on doing the same. I was calling Kaji, "Kaji Bear" for like half a day. He never responded to Bear and caught on to Kaji super quick!

OP congrats on such a cutie! I'm sure you'll show him what a happy loving home is all about.

Very cute YORKIE! I'm sure he will adjust to a name change, and good luck with this cute guy.

MSmith90 · 12-02-2010, 10:43 AM

he's got more of a Yorkie coat than mine does! I think he's just fine <3
