Teaching the Obedience Command

Tips to Teach This Command
Here are some Yorkie training tips to begin teaching this command to your puppy or dog.   This most serious training command should be put into action whenever your dog is doing something that you do not want them to do. Please not that one should not say this unless one really means it; otherwise it will lose its importance and your Yorkie will never understand the true meaning.

This command must be said with the correct tone of voice.  You must say it with a serious tone.  However, do not yell and of course, never hit your dog while saying it.

Do not even "tap" your dog with a rolled up paper, as some out-of-date training methods used to advise.  Your goal is not to make your dog afraid of you, but to respect you.

When you give this command word,  say it in a tone that shows your Yorkie that you are serious, physically stop your dog from continuing the behavior and then offer an alternative.

Some Examples and Training Tips:

•    If your dog is walking ahead of you, say the command word "No" and stop walking.   Only after they sit and calm down should you continue walking with him or her on your left side, keeping with your pace.

•    If your Yorkie nips at you, train them to stop this by commanding "No", act as if the nip hurt...ignore him or her for 10 minutes and offer your dog a chew toy.

•    If your Yorkie shows makes motions as if they are about to eliminate inside the home, say "No" in a firm tone to get your dog’s attention and swiftly pick them up and bring them outside or to their litter box.

Use it only when needed.  Repetition is what will teach your dog what is appropriate, correct behavior.
