Training A Yorkie

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

As a breed of small dogs, Yorkies are pretty cute. The problem is, although they are quite popular, many Yorkie owners do not properly understand how to properly train a Yorkie. Hence it’s super important for you to know how to train well that cute little Yorkie.

Yorkies can be unique little dogs. One of the neat things about Yorkies is that they are amazing companion dogs and just love to hang out with you where ever you are. If not properly trained, however, they can pick up dominant behaviors that can be a problem. These dogs must be socialized with other dogs, otherwise they may have a tendency toward aggression.

Who is in charge in the relationship should be established right away. You must take control of your home, assuming the role of the alpha male in the pack. Your little Yorkie will try to take charge and steal that role from you. At any cost, do not let that happen. Your dog needs to know that you are in charge of your home.

As the alpha leader you have to make boundries and simply exert your control over the dog. Some ideas to establish your alpha position in your home:

When you feed your dog: the Yorkie should be fed at certain times that you establish, not the dog.

Establish a walking schedule and try to go as much as two times a day. Have command of the walks, not the Yorkie. To say it another way, don’t let the Yorkie walk you. When training a Yorkie, it’s important for you to show authority. You will see the Yorkie try to gain dominance by pulling on the chain and tugging you in the direction it wants to go: don’t let the dog do that. Do have control of the leash here as it is very important.

Small dogs, especially Yorkies, love to jump on people and furniture. To do this follow these points: It is essential that you set boundaries that do not allow them to do this. Put coins in a can and when they do jump, throw it in their direction and have it make noise. Do this every time they jump, and they will stop.

The basics of going in and out of the house: You must disacknowledge your Yorkie when you come in and out of the house. At the point when the Yorkie is calm and relaxed is the point when you can give that cute Yorkie the attention.

Make sure that you establish yourself as the alpha-pack leader and training a Yorkie will be a snap.
