How To Train A Dog

Yorkshire terriers can be quite stubborn when you are making an attempt to teach them. My Yorkie doesn’t listen and can become quite recalcitrant when I’m working with her. I formerly owned a Yorkie and had a similar issue. On this occasion I’ve been taught more about Yorkshire terriers and dogs generally and I need to share what I’ve learned. Here are 7 pointers on how to train your Yorkshire terrier.

1. Work with your dog every day. Yorkers have a short memory and attention span, like that of a small kid. If you skip a day of training she’ll forget what she has learned.

2. Use treats as a reward when your Yorkie does what you are trying to teach her to do. That way she’s going to know what is predicted of her and be inspired to delight you.

3. Speak in a firm tone when reprimanding her. She is going to know by the tone of your voice that she has done something that’s not sufficient.

4. Allow for lots of playtime between training sessions. Your Yorkie will learn faster if she is allowed to stretch her legs and play in between sessions.

5. Train your Yorkie when it is just the two of you. Other people or animals are way too much of a distraction. Permit her to target you and your voice.

6. Teach only one command at a time. Wait till she has mastered a command utterly before starting to teach her a new one.

7. Use the same exact wording for each command you teach. If you need your Yorkie to sit, then only use the word sit. If you are saying sit down or anything else she will become confused and not know what to do. Think back to when you were making an attempt to learn a new language. One word can change the meaning of a sentence and you could have difficulty working out what is the best way to say something. It is the same for your Yorkie. She will try to figure out what you want, so keep it simple with one word or a short phrase.

If you follow these 7 tips your Yorkie will learn as many commands as you would like to teach her. If you want to learn more about the correct way to train your Yorkie or other tiny breed dogs it is a brilliant idea to ask others for help.
