Yorkie Care and Training How to care for your new Yorkie: How to care for your new Yorkshire Terrier puppy. Here you will find a list of the basic supplies needed before your Yorkie puppy comes home. How to potty train your Yorkshire Terrier puppy easily. Be sure to get Jan Fennel's book or DVD of "The Dog Listener". It is a must read for any dog owner! If you only read one thing-be sure this is it. Here is a link to Jan's site where the book or DVD can be purchased http://www.janfennellthedoglistener.com/dvd.htm. If you are purchasing a puppy from Sunrise Yorkies, please take a few minutes to read though the above links. The importance of beginning to train your puppy as soon as he comes home cannot be over emphasized. Just a few minutes each day spent in fun interaction and training with your puppy will reap life long benefits. Please take the time to read through my recommend reading list. By learning how to interact with your puppy, and understanding how a dog's mind works, potential behavior problems will be avoided. Help your puppy understand what his boundaries are through obedience training. A well mannered puppy is one who will be loved by everyone and welcome anywhere! It will be helpful to you and your new Yorkie if you enroll in a puppy obedience class. This class will strengthen the bond between you and your puppy, teach you both about basic obedience and be a continued socialization opportunity for your puppy. This class can be started as soon as your puppy has complete his puppy shots (usually between 12 and 16 weeks). If you prefer, professional trainers can also do individual classes, or come to your home for private lessons. The American Kennel Club features a Canine Good Citizen program which is a 10-step test that certifies dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. CGC is an excellent program, and one I wish to promote and encourage. Since I want my puppies to become well trained, any Yorkie purchased from Sunrise Yorkies who becomes certified CGC is eligible for a $100 bonus. Click here to find CGC training classes in your area. Recommended Reading: A well trained Yorkie makes a much better pet than one who is left to his own devices. I highly recommend reading these books: The
