K-9 Training

By Isabella Gibby

The following is one example of a successful dog training story. I have a neighbor who had two adorable show yorkies.

My neighbor loves her yorkies, and they keep her in good company. She trains them daily. My neighbor?s Yorkies often are entered into championship competitions.

The other day my friend?s two show yorkies would not hold their tails up in the show ring. They were losing their prize cards. This means that they were also losing any opportunity of winning.

When my friend?s two show Yorkies were being shown in a championship competitions something interesting happended. Basically, these Yorkies proved that training can occur quickly and easily. Another friend of ours suggested that they just come and stand in the middle of the room with all the dogs going round.

Yorkshire terriers will allow you to train them to a variety of different behaviors. Their favorite will most likely be games, like teaching the Yorkie to sit or heel, before giving the Yorkie a treat.

The Yorkshire Terrier breed is small, a toy breed. Because of the yorkshire terrier's small size you will not have a problem of them moving around. They are not likely to break things inside the house.

If your dog barks incessantly, even after listening to barking, shut thy ears and go on compelling the dog to do what you want. Praise and stroke your dog in an encouraging manner all the time.

Your Yorkie may be encouraged easily. Many owners wonder if dogs are better trained with positive reinforcement or punishment. Positive reinforcement can be used to teach a Yorkie what behaviors to use and increase. I do not recommend using punishment with your Yorkie, although in some instances it may be necessary. I would reserve such instances to a minimum.
