Tips on taking care of your pets and animals

Yorkies are glorious animals and make great pets. However, training your Yorkie dog can oftentimes be difficult unless done properly.

Yorkies are the second most favorite breed of dog in the U.S. They’re a very intelligent dog breed and often learn commands, such as sit, stay, and fetch fairly fast. Here are a few basic principles to follow when training your Yorkie:

Treats, treats, and more treats – Giving your Yorkie a treat anytime they do a command correctly is maybe one of the most effective actions for training. If you need to try and teach your Yorkie to sit, then put the treat in your closed fist and let your Yorkie smell it, then talk the command “sit” and when they successfully sit, give them a treat. This is a proven technique, and it makes performing acts a fun time for your dog.

Potty training – Yorkies are really smart animals, but occasionally they require a little additional time to be potty-trained. It is best to start teaching your Yorkie to go outside as a puppy dog, but if yours is older, it’s ok too. When you see your Yorkie doing their business on the floor, scream loudly “NO”, or “STOP”, followed by taking them to a well-known spot outside. When yours does their business outside, give them a treat and lots of praise of love. If your Yorkie doesn’t catch on, consider crate training. Place your Yorkie in a crate at night time and when you leave the house. Only let your Yorkie out when you can control them.

Distraction Free – Don’t forget to take away diversions when you are making an attempt to train your dog. Such stuff as the television, children, telephone calls, etc, can distract your Yorkie from learning. You need a quite place to coach.

Punishment – You shouldn’t be physically assertive to your Yorkie. This is frightening and create a unfavorable affect on their training. Yelling at them firmly is enough.

Barking – Some Yorkies have a tendency to bark loudly when visitors to the door. If your Yorkie won’t stop barking, attempt to scream “NO” at them. If this doesn’t work, attempt to ignore them completely. If you are consistent, your Yorkie will realize he’s going to be punished next time he acts like that.

Yorkies are fast learners and are really loving. Be patient training your Yorkie and always give them a lot of love.
