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.

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 the past, vitamins have been largely described by diseases resulting from their absence. It is recognized more and more that many of the subacute symptoms of the yorkie’s well-being may be attributed to the insufficient supply in the yorkie’s diet of one or more essential food factors.

It is to be emphasized that vitamins are to be considered a vital part of the yorkie’s daily diet, highly important to his health and well-being.

They are not to be considered as medication of some sort. Often, serious conditions which result from their absence in the yorkie’s diet may be remedied by the addition of the particularly needed vitamin – just as the effects of other starvation can be solved by adding little amount of food to satisfy his appetite.

Requirements of vitamins in the diet (from food) cannot be strongly emphasized. These vitamins may be in the food themselves, or they may better be added to it as a supplement to ensure a healthy supply.

Except for vitamin D, of which it is remotely possible though unlikely to supply too much – a surplus of this vitamin is quite harmless. They are somewhat expensive and we, as owners, have no reason to waste them; but if used in excess they are simply wasted with no subsequent ill effect.

It must also be realized that vitamins are various substances, each of which has a separate function. It is definitely not safe to add that a yorkie’s diet something out of a bottle or box indefinitely labeled “vitamins”, as our common practice.

We yorkie owners must know which vitamin we are giving, what purpose each is designated to serve, and the potency of brand preparation of each vitamin we are specifically using.

This does not mean that they must be fed separately. Several vitamins may be combined in a single label, tablet, or in liquid form. However, it is necessary for the yorkie to owner to be aware not only of the names of such vitamins contained, but the dosage as well.

Pharmaceutical companies take into consideration the costs of various ingredients and often, enough to formulate such vitamins and meet a price rather than to serve their nutritional purposes.

Any one of the quickly prepared vitamin is probably sufficient if given in large enough doses. It is much better to buy a product that contains an adequate amount of each of the needed vitamins as this method is much cheaper.

At least eleven minerals are present in a healthy dog’s body: Calcium, sodium chloride, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, and iodine.

The good thing about carbohydrates in dog food is that it has starch, sugar, cellulose and hemi cellulose – the last two being known as fiber – are the chief constituents of wood, stalks and laves of plants, and seed coverings.

There remains considerable controversy about how much carbohydrates are required or desired in canine nutrition.

It has been shown experimentally that the dog is able to digest large quantities of cornstarch, either raw or cooked. Rice fed to mature dogs in sufficient amounts to satisfy total energy requirements has been found to be 95 percent digested.

Commercial biscuits and meals which are sold as dog food are moderately well tolerated, especially if they are supplemented by the addition of fresh meat. There seems to be no reason why they should not be included in moderate amounts in the yorkie’s daily meal.

Carbohydrates are a cheap source of energy for the yorkie, both in their initial cost and in the work required for their metabolism. Ample evidence showed that the dog has no difficulty in digesting and utilizing considerable amounts of starch and sugar for producing energy, there is no reason why they should be excluded from this diet.

It should be noted that meat and milk contain a measure of carbohydrates as well as proteins.

Dog food which contains any large measure of cellulose for the yorkie is not recommended. Thoroughly cooked rice or oatmeal in moderate quantities may well be used to supplement and help save a meat diet for your yorkie without posing harm to him, unlike crushed dog biscuits, or table scraps.

They are not required but may be consumed by your yorkie without harm. Even thoroughly cooked and mashed potatoes, especially if they contain plenty of milk, butter, and gravy are good (along with plenty of meat), despite that many old-fashioned cranks persist in considering them dangerous.

Sugar and candy, which dogs are no doubt fond of – are also used as another additional source of carbohydrates. They are an excellent source of energy – and harmless to the yorkie.

They should be fed in sufficient portions and only after meals, since they tend to take the edge off the appetite.

Try giving your yorkie some sugar before his meal and he may refuse the meal itself.  Meat will always remain the essential main element of an optimum ration for the yorkie.
