The Yorkshire Terrier is a highly intelligent little dog and they are always eager to please which means training them is easy. However, their education has to begin early when dogs are still very young for them to grow up to be well-rounded, obedient characters. Their training also has to be consistent and always fair so a Yorkie understands their place in the pack and who is alpha dog in a household. Some owners have found it hard to housetrain their Yorkies, but with patience and the right sort of guidance, a Yorkshire Terrier can quickly learn to do their business outside.
It's essential for Yorkie puppies to be well socialised from a young age which has to involve them being introduced to as many new situations, people and other animals as soon as they have been fully vaccinated. This is the best way to instill good behaviour and manners in these feisty little dogs.
