Yorkshire terriers can be quite stubborn when you’re making an attempt to teach them. My Yorkie does not listen and can become quite recalcitrant when I am working with her. I formerly owned a Yorkie and had a similar issue. This time around I have learned more about Yorkshire terriers and dogs generally and I need to share what I’ve learned. Here are seven 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 little child. If you skip a day of training she will forget what she has learned.
2. Use treats as a reward when your Yorkie does what you are endeavoring to teach her to do. That way she’ll know what is expected of her and be motivated to please 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 masses of playtime between training sessions. Your Yorkie will learn faster if she is permitted to stretch her legs and play in between sessions.
5. Train your Yorkie when it is just the two of you. Other folks or animals are far too much of a distraction. Allow her to target you and your voice.
6. Teach only one command at a time. Wait until she has mastered a command completely before starting to teach her another one.
7. Use the same precise wording for each command you teach. If you need your Yorkie to sit, then only use the word sit. If you say sit down or anything else she will become confused and not know what to do. Think back to when you were attempting to learn a new language. One word can change the meaning of a sentence and you could have difficulty figuring out what is the best way to say something. It’s the same for your Yorkie. She will try to work out what you need, so keep it simplistic with one word or a short phrase.
If you follow these seven tips your Yorkie will learn as many commands as you need to teach her. If you want to find out more about the right way to train your Yorkie or other tiny breed dogs it is a smart idea to ask others for help.
