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

Through seemingly simple, the “lie down” command can be difficult to teach because it is basically a submissive gesture.

To your yorkie, lowering his body to a crouching position is reminiscent of submitting to allow a dominant animal to mount him.

He may not be eager to take such a demeaning humble posture simply because you ask him to, and even though lying down is the most natural position for a yorkie to assume, you may have a difficult time getting your dog to do so on command. Continue Reading

What was formerly known as a single vitamin B has now been found to be a complex of at least six (and probably more) factors. Continue Reading

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