Subtleties training Yorkshire terrier

Yorkshire terriers are very energetic and cheerful dogs. It is hard to imagine that such a cheerful little dog sedately walks alongside the owner and silently looks at people passing by. Usually yorks are fun jumping, yapping and fussing all the time. Such restless people especially need to be trained, otherwise the pet may simply become uncontrollable.. Learn how to properly educate these small active dogs, so that they grow up balanced and bring only positive emotions to the owner and others.

Taking the baby to his house, the newly-made owner does not even suspect what kind of explosive character is in his pet. York is a leader by nature, in spite of so small dimensions courage and curiosity are characteristic of it. However, this is a very friendly dog, he is able to give the owner love and affection. The task of the owner is to achieve a golden mean in his behavior so that the activity of the dog does not acquire aggressive forms and get the right direction.

Parenting York needs to start as early as possible. Then your relationship will develop in the right way, and the dog will obey you, and not be considered his secondary comrade. Starting from the basics, over time you will be able to master more and more complex commands.

To train york, you do not need special skills. These animals are smart enough to understand what is wanted of them, and can be obedient.

Here are the recommendations that give experts in the education of these small "energy".

• Classes should take place in a comfortable environment, that is, in the right place at the right time. The dog will listen to you carefully only if he has previously eaten and is in good spirits. The first classes should be held at home, where there are no outsiders, then your pet will be easier to concentrate.
• Before you begin to train York, become a leader in his eyes. If this does not happen, then the dog will take on this role, and all your commands will be ignored.
• To gain credibility in relations with York, do not let him in his bed - he must know his place. Boys are especially fond of showing their leadership - they are considered to be cocky and more active than girls. Unfortunately, many owners violate this recommendation, because of which they subsequently have problems in raising a pet. It is also important that the dog eats only from his bowl and does not beg, hoping to get a tidbit from the table.
• Use the tactics of the "carrot", that is, encourage your pet for correctly executed commands with snacks. “Knut” should not be connected - the physical impact in the education of the dog will not benefit.
• It is important that the pet follows the rules with all households. To do this, all family members must adhere to a single line of conduct in communication with the dog. Explain to the children that if they secretly indulge the dog with food from the table, then all the education will go down the drain.
• Listening to commands, the dog is no less attentively looking at the master's gestures. Think them over so as not to mislead the dog by making off-topic movements.
• Forbid commands must be executed without question. Say them in the harshest voice, and if the dog is on a walk, then you should pull up the leash.In some cases, this can save the pet's life, for example, if it rushes to the car.

Now consider the individual skills that the York Terrier acquires in the first place. Yorks are so domestic that even they go to the toilet not in the street, but in the tray. You can teach him to defend the need and on the street, but first look at his behavior. If he categorically does not want to do it in the fresh air and suffers before returning home, then most likely he is not interested in walks.

To teach the dog to relieve the need on the street will be easier if you take the kid to walk immediately after waking up. Also a good time will be the moment after a meal. If in the summer you drive it to the toilet outside, and in the winter in bad weather, be lazy to do it, it will be difficult for the dog to change the habit. A blended version is less preferable - Yorkers are more likely to adhere to one way to relieve themselves. Therefore, the owner should immediately determine how your dog will go to the toilet.

Teaching a dog to a team is best left to a specialist. Training courses allow you to effectively adjust the behavior, in these classes, dogs learn both simple commands and more complex ones. In addition, dog handlers will give you tips on raising a pet for the future.

To educate the animal yourself, you have to stock up on free time and tremendous patience.

Begin classes only with a positive attitude, repeat the same commands day after day, and you will certainly succeed.

• Nickname It is given to the dog as soon as it appears in your house, and remains with it forever. Do not confuse the animal, calling it by different names. It is unacceptable to distort the nickname or call the dog by different names.
• "Fu". This command is by no means analogous to the word impossible. It is used only in cases when the dog is trying to pick up something from the ground and eat.
• "No". This team has a more extensive meaning, it gives a ban on the commission of certain actions. Say it with a demanding tone, but do not go to the cry.
• "A place". Training for this team begins on the day of the appearance of York in the house. When he falls asleep, take him to the dog’s place and lay him carefully, saying in a calm tone: "A place". If the dog tries to get out of there, repeat the actions and say the command with a more strict intonation.
• "To me". Say this phrase, showing the dog delicious. After completing the command, give the dog a well-deserved reward.
• "Sit". When the dog is on a leash, tell her: “Sit!” While slightly pulling the leash up. After completing the command, encourage your pet with a titbit.
• "Lie down". First show the dog a treat, then lower the hand and lead it forward. When york tries to take it out of hand, give this command and, having waited for its fulfillment, hand the dog a reward.
• "Beside". Having voiced this word, slightly pull the leash towards you so that the dog keeps up with you on the left. Say this command as soon as you see the dog trying to run away to you.

In order for your walks not to turn into chaos, the dog must learn that on the street he must strictly obey his master. Let the pet learn that it is not permissible to run away and rush at passersby.

If the standard commands are still poorly executed, then every time the dog behaves incorrectly, stop and stand still. Do not forget to hold tight the leash without tugging at it, the dog will not be able to move on anyway. You need to go in a calm measured pace. Keep in mind that if you run, the dog will start after you at even greater speed.

The first run is better not to delay, so that your four-legged friend does not get bored.

Training york is not as difficult as other breeds, such as the German Shepherd or Bloodhound. It is important to earn the authority of your baby, so that he clearly knows "who is the boss in the house."
