When first introducing your child and the new yorkie puppy, do so slowly and supervise. In general, it’s a simple process that happens quite naturally, but it is always best to watch.

You can put a baby on the floor next to a puppy. Don’t be afraid; the baby will be left intact, but do stick around. Continue Reading

There are no regularly scheduled sessions for teaching a yorkie to do something. Just work your dog in short exercise periods that can be given at any time of the day or night.

The lessons themselves should be only two to three minutes in length, with five the absolute tops. A longer session are to be used only for complicated tricks after your yorkie is well accustomed to being trained and worked or if he knows the command thoroughly but refuses to work. Continue Reading

Scientists have discovered that if the amygdala – a group of nerves in a region of the forebrain, is destroyed – the aggression urge is eliminated.

But this extreme step is not the ideal solution. Tranquilizers your veterinarian prescribes can suppress – but not change behavior. Continue Reading

If you ignore your yorkie dog’s signs of aggression, they may get so far out of hand that he takes over your home and bullies you into a corner. Therefore, get to work on solving this problem when it’s still in its early stages.

From the outset, your yorkie has to learn to control himself. Play with him, but don’t play roughly. Teach him that he cannot use his mouth for nipping, even playfully. Every time he bites at a piece of clothing or at your hand, give him a slight tap and tell him “no”. If you don’t, he can develop a biting habit. Continue Reading

In dogs, four major developmental phases occur, overlapping slightly, with some Yorkshire terriers maturing more rapidly or slowly than others.

The neonatal stage lasts for the first one or two weeks. At birth, a newborn yorkie is born blind and deaf. The pup never leaves the nest and is completely dependent on his mother for food and care. Continue Reading

Since a dog’s vision is generally limited, he does not rely on it alone but uses other senses to augment it.

Your yorkie may not recognize a specific person at a distance; he may have to get close enough to see features and smell and hear before recognizing who it is. Continue Reading

When you bring a new teacup yorkie puppy home with you, here are some points to consider on his first night: Continue Reading

Because your yorkie uses his mouth to fidget the way we would use our hands, the nervous idiosyncrasies he may develop are generally oral. Continue Reading

This reasonably common but potentially dangerous oral fixation often develops into self-mutilation. Continue Reading

For first time yorkie owners breeding their yorkies: The best help you can give is to leave the animals alone. If either or both are nervous, prevent panic and stop them from hurting each other by some gentle, soothing talk. Continue Reading

The best time to diagnose yorkie pregnancy is three to three and a half weeks after breeding. At this stage, the veterinarian can feel puppies as tiny lumps or bumps. Before and after this, it is more difficult. Continue Reading

Sometimes a yorkie puppy will arrive with no sign of life. If you feel a pulse beat under the forearm, start the puppy breathing by blowing steadily into his mouth – this way the lungs can be sufficiently expanded to supply necessary oxygen. Continue Reading

Your yorkie pup needs more frequent feeding than an older dog because his stomach isn’t large enough to hold all the food required for proper growth. Continue Reading

If it is necessary to change your yorkie’s diet, you may have to be insistent. Keep in mind that a sudden change in diet can cause digestive upsets – the yorkie may even reject a drastic change in food.

When changing from one food to another, do it gradually. Add a little more of the new food at each meal and decrease the former food proportionally until the complete change is made.

If your yorkie refuses to eat for a day or two, don’t panic and give him a special treat. That’s what he wants. Hold out until he gives in and eats. As with all carnivores whose food supply is not constantly available, a dog is well adapted to going without food for long periods.

Flatulence or gas can sometimes be attributed to the food a yorkie eats. It is common in an aging dog because of diminishing intestinal mobility – the system slows down through the aging process.

Food is retained longer in the intestines, causing bacterial action on highly fermentable, poorly digested food. Gulping food is another cause. In fact, seventy percent of the gas in the digestive tract is said to be swallowed.

Diseases of the liver, pancreas, and intestines are other factors. Less meat and more exercise will help control this problem. Crumble charcoal pills – available at the pharmacy into your yorkie’s meal once a week. They absorb gas in the stomach, help relieve indigestion, and correct diarrhea.

They are not digested – just naturally eliminated.

Water, unlike food, should be readily available at all times, unless there is a condition for which your veterinarian asks you to cut out or limit water for two or three days. With water available, dogs drink frequently a little at a time.

If it kept away and given at intervals, they may gulp it down, overdrink, and become ill. When there is a real problem with housebreaking, you may have to regulate your yorkie’s water at night. Any dog that drinks an excessive amount of water should be checked by your vet.

Unusual thirst is a warning signal; food can sometimes be the culprit. In general, however, a dog will drink only what he can hold. Only when there is a real problem with housebreaking should you regulate your yorkie’s water as outlined.

What goes in one end must produce waste products in proportionate amounts at the other. Feeding and housebreaking are, therefore, directly related.

Dogs were immediately responsible for the discovery of vitamin B2, or nicotinic acid – formerly known as vitamin G.

Vitamin A in some form is an absolute requisite for good health, even for enduring life itself. Continue Reading
