Every owner of an amazing Yorkshire Terrier is certainly interested in the question of its correct training. It must be remembered that absolutely any breed of dog must undergo a certain course that will help to properly train the pet.
Features of Training a Yorkshire Terrier at Home
Despite the stereotype that Yorkies do not shine with intelligence, these kids are excellent learners, and they grasp all the wisdom almost the first time.
Sometimes you get the impression that tiny creatures know perfectly well how smart they are. Therefore, sometimes, as if on purpose, they can show some stubbornness. You will have to put up with this little weakness of theirs, unless, of course, your pet is preparing as a show star.
If you “break” a Yorkie, he will lose his liveliness.
Have the patience to train your Yorkshire Terrier. Even raising your voice is unacceptable, let alone being rude or aggressive. Representatives of the breed demand respect – then they will become true friends and companions.
