Small Dog Training Tips

Recommended Answer:
there are puppy schools for adult dogs, also does he socialise with other dogs. If so speak to the other owners about training.
It's also amazing how much a dog will learn by just being around other dogs and their owners.
Good luck....and remember YOU can teach an old dog new tricks.

Therapy Dog Training - Working With Your Dog

• YORKIE POO isn't that a girl dog?? lol. You need to walk him a long time b4 any training. This releases any frustrated energy cooped up in him and will allow him to listen better.


• Likely cause he is one of those designer breeds.. No thought into breeding the litter, nothing taken into consideration other than money and maybe looks..
  Might want to see the vet, see if he can help. A 2 year old dog should easily be learning things.. I teach 5 and 6 week old puppies how to sit for treats etc.. At 2 he should be starting to slow down.


• I'd advise finding a nice basic obedience class. Obedience classes don't just teach your dog but will also teach you how to teach your dog.
  
  To teach sit, most dogs can figure it out very quickly if you hold a treat on their nose and move the treat up over their head, because as their head follows their butts should hit the ground. If you have a dog who doesn't do this naturally, it can be a good thing to have a trainer available to help. I'm working with a Yorkipoo right now who "dances" all the time instead of sitting, so it took a little more than usual to get her to understand about sitting. You should be able to come out of a basic class with a nice foundation for how to continue training your pup.
