How To Coach Yorkies - Several Tips On Training Yorkies

By Boris Pasternak


Yorkies are amazing animals and make great pets. However, training your Yorkie dog can oftentimes be tricky unless done correctly.

Yorkies are the second most favorite type of dog in the U.S. They seem to be a terribly intelligent dog breed and often learn commands, for example sit, stay, and bring fairly fast. Here are one or two foundations 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'd like to try and teach your Yorkie to sit, then put the treat in your closed fist and let your Yorkie smell it, then speak the command "sit" and when they successfully sit, give them a treat. This is an established system, and it makes performing acts a great time for your dog.

Potty training - Yorkies are extremely smart animals, but sometimes they require a little extra time to be potty-trained. It's best to start teaching your Yorkie to go outside as a puppy, but if yours is older, it's ok too. When you see your Yorkie doing their business on the floor, yell loudly "NO", or "STOP", followed by taking them to a familiar spot outside. When yours does their business outside, give them a treat and plenty of praise of feelings. If your Yorkie doesn't catch on, consider crate training. Place your Yorkie in a crate in the night and when you leave the house. Only let your Yorkie out when you can manage them.

Distraction Free - Do not forget to take away distractions when you're attempting to train your dog. Such stuff as the television, kids, telephone calls, and so on, can distract your Yorkie from learning. You need a quite place to train.

Punishment - You shouldn't be physically assertive to your Yorkie. This is frightening and create a unfavorable affect on their training. Screaming at them strongly is sufficient.

Barking - Some Yorkies have a propensity to bark loudly when visitors to the door. If your Yorkie will not stop barking, try to yell "NO" at them. If this doesn't work, try and pay little attention to them absolutely. If you're consistent, your Yorkie will realize he will be punished next time he acts like that.

Yorkies are fast learners and are extremely loving. Have patience training your Yorkie and always give them lots of love.
