A Look At Breeds For Puppy Training

Here are some puppy facts to consider about Yorkies for puppy training.

Yorkshire Terriers are born black, gradually attaining their blue and tan coloration as they mature.

Their coat is not coarse, but is fine and silky to the touch. Unlike other breeds, which have fur, the Yorkshire has hair that is growing constantly. They have no undercoat and do not shed.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a lovely lap dog that much prefers to be held on their owner’s lap all day. They have a dose of attitude combined with a bright and playful nature. This delightful pet is a true and loyal companion.

They are intelligent, lively, and fearless. They focus entirely on their owner and are extremely affectionate. It has been said that a Yorkshire Terrier requires more human companionship and attention than any other breed.

The Yorkshire Terrier can be territorial and likes to have their space respected. They are tolerant of older children if treated with care. The Yorkshire Terrier can also be somewhat independent and assertive. They get along well with other pets.

The Yorkshire Terrier’s coat requires daily grooming. The hair on top of the head, if grown long, is usually secured with a band or bow. However, if the Yorkshire Terrier is not being used for show, then the coat may be clipped short. Ears and eyes must be cleaned daily. Dental hygiene is also important.

This breed is quick to learn. However, they may become willful in which case training of any kind can become difficult. Training must have consistency and firmness. They do not like to be ignored, so lots of praise will bring out the best in their training.

The Yorkshire Terrier requires minimal exercise. They are suited for short walks and ideal for apartment living or homes with small yards. They love to chase shadows, lay in sunbeams, and tug of war. The more attention this breed receives the better.

If you are looking for Yorkshire Terrier or Yorkie puppies for sale from reputable Yorkshire Terrier or a Yorkie breeders or to adopt a Yorkshire Terrier, perhaps a Yorkie from a rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can.

Every puppy breed is different and there are different ways to go about training  a puppy.
