In all future descriptions of how to train your yorkie, I shall leave out all reference to corporal punishment. It is a very distasteful subject to all yorkie lovers.
I have shared my perspectives as to the occasions on which it seems reasonable for a yorkie to be punished in that way, and I shall always think a yorkie caught in the act of doing something quite unpardonable is more quickly taught there and then by a sharp slap than by all the talking to in the world.

If you need to smack your yorkie, in my opinion you have failed, as a trainer, to exert proper influence on him from the beginning. That is why your yorkie has to be broken of his bad habits the hard way.

Most people train their yorkies in the right spirit, realizing that to train their yorkie perhaps needs an almost super-human effort and a lasting patience.

My idea of training a yorkie is that all the yorkies should learn properly exactly what I set out to teach them, and I am afraid I spend a long time sometimes on a particularly difficult yorkie, trusting that the other members of my family will forgive me for having to spend so much time on training my yorkie.

Without sufficient time spent on training your yorkie, he would never have done anything you taught him to do, anyway. We just want our yorkies to work well, that you can hear a pin drop sometimes when one is particularly having a tough time training a yorkie.

Yorkies respond well when you deem his obedience to your command sincerely and spontaneously – as they really love to be admired, with utmost affection from their owners.

I often feel that every yorkie owner really wants to achieve the highest level of some sort in training a yorkie in their very homes, as they feel most comfortable doing all the training there, so to speak.

I find yorkie training the most fascinating part of being a yorkie owner. Sometimes I can’t help but feel brokenhearted to those intelligent yorkies living in unsuitable homes, putting up with utterly unsuitable owners.

These yorkies I speak of are neglected emotionally. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if these once gentle creatures turn out to be vicious canines, almost wolf-like in their interaction with other human beings – because these yorkies are neglected in ways that they get wary of any possible human contact.
