Yorkshire Terriers can be quite stubborn when you are trying to train them.
Here are 7 tips on how to effectively dog obedience train your Yorkshire Terrier:
1. Yorkies need regular and consistent dog obedience training. They have a short attention span and short memory. Work with your dog every day.
2. Give your dog lots of praise and affection when she does what you are trying to teach her to do. Use food treats and favorite toys as rewards and inducements to continue that behavior. That way she will know what is expected of her and be motivated to please you.
3. It is necessary to speak in a firm tone when reprimanding Yorkies. They can be very stubborn. But there is no need to yell or be overly harsh. She will know by the tone of your voice that she has done something that is not acceptable.
4. Don't over do it. Yorkies have short attention spans. Allow for lots of down time and playful interaction between training sessions. Your Yorkie will learn quicker if she is motivated.
5. Yorkies are easily distracted. Only train your Yorkie when other people or animals are not around. This will allow her to focus on you and the task at hand.
6. For best results teach only one command at a time. Don't introduce a second command until the first one has been mastered.
7. Make sure you use the same phrase or wording for each command you teach. If you want your Yorkie to sit, then only use the word sit.
These 7 tips will make your Yorkie dog obedience training much more enjoyable. Yorkies are cute and affectionate. Good training will allow you and her to bond and enjoy a healthy relationship.
