Website design By BotEap.comTraining Yorkshire terriers is a tedious task because they can sometimes be a bit stubborn and very resistant when you try to train them. You need to follow a few guidelines if you want to successfully train your terrier or dog in general.

Website design By BotEap.comLike any training program, whether human or otherwise, a consistent and regular approach is necessary to complete it successfully. Likewise, work with your dog every day because his attention and memory span is short.

Website design By BotEap.comYorkies make great companions, but they love to bark, which is also problematic for their owners and neighbors. The best time to teach them something is between 5 and 12 months of age. Speak to them in a strong tone when they do something that is not acceptable so that next time they will recognize by your tone that they have offended you.

Website design By BotEap.comTake your Yorkie for a walk every day for at least half an hour and spend some time playing with him or her at home as well. This is a method of exercise for them and most of their energy is spent playing, so they tend to bark less. Train your Yorkie to know when to bark and when not to. You can also try using some dog toys to stop him from barking all the time. Because the toys will keep her busy and involved, she will automatically refrain from barking.

Yorkies are very fond of treats. So every time they follow your commands during training sessions, give them a treat to make them feel appreciated. Being appreciated and getting rewarded is always very motivating.

Website design By BotEap.comTraining Yorkshire terriers to go potty where you want them to takes a lot of time and effort. Take it out when you wake up in the morning or after a meal. Have a little patience, if he does it inside the house. Next time be careful and take it out several times a day. Again praise him and give him treats when he relieves himself outside. Just a little effort every day will make them an obedient companion.
