welcome to six tips for house training
your yorkshire terrier brought to you by
WWE trained pet dog calm the yorkshire
terrier is cute sweet lovable and
extremely tenacious but their traits
have made them loved by many in fact
this small breed of dog is a very
popular breed but despite their good
points they do have some points that
potential owners should know about
besides being a toy size dog this little
breed is not one that lies around
originally bred to hunt rats the
Yorkshire Terrier is tenacious and
determined this can translate to them
being very stubborn and training can be
difficult with the yorkshire terrier for
successful training of this breed it is
important that owners are patient while
still being very firm
while it is important to understand the
yorkshire terrier as a breed it is
important to understand small breeds in
general small breeds like the Yorkie are
often more difficult to house-train
many small breeds take longer to
house-train
and even after they are fully trained
they may have accidents throughout their
life
they generally have a difficult time
holding their bladder for long periods
and will often need to be let out
throughout the day because of this many
small breeds including new yorky are
house trained to both puppy pads and
some are even house trained to kitty
litters
house-training tip number one be firm
regardless of the age that your
Yorkshire Terrier is it is important to
be firm with them being firm should
apply to all aspects of your yorkese
training including house training this
breed is very stubborn and they will
often balk at trainings since they would
rather do something else
training and firm rules is a must with
the Yorkshire Terrier since they can be
prone to small dog syndrome and this can
lead to many problems including house
training problems
house-training tip number to begin with
a potty area in the house it is very
important to have an area for your
yorkshire terrier to go to the bathroom
in this does not have to be a lifelong
area in your home but it helps with
potty training when your Yorkie is young
especially at night use absorbent puppy
pads and whenever your puppy has an
accident move him over to the pads
eventually you can move the potty area
outside but it can be an excellent
option for people with less mobility or
those who live in apartments
house-training tip number three never
hit or harshly correct the yorkshire
terrier while there can be serious
ramifications for hitting or harshly
correcting any breed it can be even
worse for a Yorkie remember this is a
toy sized breed and a strike even a
light one can lead to a serious injury
in addition Yorkshire Terriers can
become even more stubborn if they are
improperly corrected and this will only
delay house training even more instead
of harsh Corrections use a firm voice to
tell them no and then redirect them to
the proper potty area
house-training tip number four break the
action one piece of advice that
coincides with never hitting a dog is to
break the action not the dog this means
that you need to distract the dog when
he is going to the bathroom a
distraction will often cause the dog to
stop urinating and it will give you the
time you need to move him to the proper
area when you see your Yorkie having an
accident clap your hands or make another
loud noise this will break the action
say no in a loud firm voice and then
move him to the potty area wait until he
starts to go through the bathroom again
and then praise your yorkshire terrier
for going in the right spot
house-training tip number five create a
schedule
everyone thrives when they have a
schedule and your Yorkshire Terrier is
no exception creating a schedule can
often speed up the house training
process and it is one of the best tools
at your disposal make sure that you
serve your Yorkie his meals at the same
time each day and also take him out at
the same time try to schedule his walks
to ten to twenty minutes after his meals
to ensure that he will need to go
remember that schedule should be a loose
guideline and allow room for flexibility
also scheduled in ways for your dog to
be taken out when you can’t get home to
let him out ask someone to come and let
your Yorkie outside during the day so he
doesn’t have to wait a long time between
potty breaks this will cut down on the
number of accidents he has while you are
away
house-training tip number six praise
praise praise lastly don’t forget to
give your Yorkshire Terrier plenty of
praise this is an important part of
training any dog but is very important
for house training praise him whenever
he goes in the right spot and remember
to never praise him for accidents use
plenty of treats and make house training
interesting to prevent your Yorkie from
becoming bored
give him an interesting spot to go to
the bathroom to keep him interested in
exploring his potty area
