Training a Yorkshire Terrier can get frustrating at times, especially when you want him to do what you want and he doesn’t! They can be quite stubborn at times. What I want to do is share with you some easy tips on how to train a Yorkshire terrier.
1 First you have to recognize the personality of your Yorkie. To successfully train a Yorkshire terrier, you must be consistent and persistent with them. It is also important that you are firm with them.
2 Another interesting tip to educate a Yorkshire terrier is to touch its nose while you whip it gently so that it knows that it is misbehaving. If you are consistent with this, he will know that every time you touch his nose he is misbehaving and this will ultimately help break his bad habits.
3 When training your Yorkshire terrier, it’s also crucial that you try to minimize outside distractions. Your Yorkshire Terrier will be much more receptive when there are not a lot of people or animals around, as he will think it is time to play when this is the case.
4 Using treats is another great training tip. Every time your Yorkie performs a command or trick, be sure to reward him with a special treat.
5 The last tip is to train your Yorkie yourself. This is something you must do and will require you to be consistent and firm, but don’t worry, training your dog will be fun and something you will enjoy, especially when the results start to show.
These are just a few tips on how to train a Yorkshire Terrier and they will help your Yorkie become even more adorable.
