Dog Training Is Not Easy But Worth It

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.

Training Yorkshire terriers should not be difficult. Not only are they smart, but yorkies' size makes training easier as well.

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.

Barking Training Some dogs bark incessantly at everyone or anything. Other dogs welcome everyone as though he were a long-lost friend.

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.
