How to Train a Yorkie the Easy Way

---

     Each year, thousands of dogs are placed in a shelter simply because they do not listen to their owner. In order to have a dog that will listen to you and go outside to potty, you will need to train them. In this case, since you have a yorkie, you need to know how to train a yorkie. Training a yorkie can be done the same way you train any other dog. In the paragraphs below, we are going to give you some pointers that will help you train your four-legged best friend.

To start with, that yorkie is totally dependent on you to teach him/her how to fit into your domesticated world. Your leadership and guidance is going to determine the path your yorkie takes and what type of dog he/she will become. Dogs that misbehave do so for a reason - they have owners that are not responsible. In order to have a good dog, you need to be a responsible owner and start the training process right away.

During the training process, you need to understand that you are dealing with an animal that has never been taught before. You need to be flexible, patient and fair during the training sessions. Your dog is not going to automatically know what you are asking for and he/she will make some mistakes here and there. When they do make a mistake, don't be too hard on them for it - just find a way to prevent the future mistakes.

You need to start out by teaching your yorkie the basic commands, starting with "emergency recall." With emergency recall, you will be teaching the yorkie to come to you when you call him/her. In emergency situations, this could save their life. Make sure you use their name often and before you know it, they will know their name. In order to teach them this command, use their favorite treats. Start off in a small, peaceful area. Stand a couple of steps away from the yorkie and use his/her name. When you call him/her, make sure you use a happy voice that is high-pitched. Get excited, pat your legs and show those treats. When they come to you, give him/her the treats. Each time, get further and further away.

"Drop it" is another basic command you will want to teach your dog. When you say "drop it," they should drop whatever is in their mouth. Start out by offering your dog one of his/her favorite toys by saying "take it." Once the dog has the toy in his/her mouth, say "drop it." Speak clearly and be firm while you are holding his/her favorite treat up. As soon as the dog drops the toy, give him/her the treat. If the dog refuses to let go of the toy, do not attempt to pull the toy from their mouth, because this is like a game to them. Instead, hold the treat closer to their nose.

There are many other basic commands that you need to teach your yorkie. These commands include "sit," "wait," and "lie down." You should also teach your dog to go potty outside as soon as he/she comes home with you.
