Training Yorkshire Terriers

by Isabella Gibby on March 16, 2009

Yorkies will understand games, a prime way to teach a dog. Games that use positive reinforcement as a learning tool should allow the yorkie to learn in under an hour what he is supposed to do.

Do not use several different dishes to feed your dog. The dog may not recognize what belongs to him, and may not know what he can take.

If an owner uses the same dish to feed their yorkie dog daily the dog is more likely to learn boundaries. Such dogs are more respectful of thir owner’s belongings, as the dog knows what belongs to the dog.

If it is a friend, you tell the dog ‘that will do.’ If your yorkie doesn’t stop barking immediately, put him into his kennel.

Your dog may bark very loudly even if you are home but in the other room. This can be the case if your pet is a young puppy, or if you own a yorkie.

My dogs are used to being fed on a regular schedule. They know the time to expect a meal to a second. I make a point of feeding them absolutely by the clock.

When training their dog to stop barking in the owner’s absence, the owner must leave and return saying sternly to sit or lie down (or another command that requires obedience). When the dog has obeyed the command, change your tone of voice to a soft soothing tone.Trust me, the dog will think the exercise was worth pleasing you.

One may train a dog to refuse food of all sorts from anyone but its owner or owners. There is always a risk that a burglar or someone may poison food given to a dog.
