Like all puppies, your Yorkshire Terrier Puppy will depend on you for everything from feeding to training. Getting to know your Yorkshire Terrier puppy is the first part of training. Doing this begins with socializing him, teaching him his name, and beginning the very important part of training… educating him.
These are important parts of training your puppy:

house rules: It is very important to ensure that your Yorkshire Terrier Puppy adjusts to your home and becomes a good companion that not only you, but everyone enjoys, and this starts with the socialization of your puppy. You need to hug and pet your pup so he knows that he is wanted and loved. Although this can be difficult, make sure you don’t constantly play with your Yorkshire Terrier puppy. When they are very young, they need enough time to sleep. It’s important to try to keep him on a schedule as much as you can, as he will find his bearings very quickly. This will make your life much easier. If your pup knows you get up at 8:00 am and take him outside shortly after, he will wait for you to let him out rather than relieve himself in his crate.

Remember that habits learned at a young age, whether good or bad, become lifelong habits. In saying that, it is vital to start on a positive note. Don’t let your Yorkshire Terrier puppy chew on things he shouldn’t and think he’s cute, or this will soon get out of control and very difficult to break. It is very important to set limits and make sure your puppy respects them.

Until your Yorkshire Terrier puppy is sufficiently trained and mature, it’s important to keep him confined to a specific area, such as the kitchen or den. You can use baby gates, which will help your pup learn that he is welcome in certain areas of the house and not welcome in other areas. Remember to put your puppy in his crate when you leave the house. Your pup will be very comfortable in your house and will most likely just sleep until you come home.

Choice of name: Choosing and naming your Yorkshire Terrier puppy is a very important factor in puppy training. Obviously, what name you give your pup is up to you, but keep in mind that short names of one or two syllables are the easiest to train, like Juno or Trig. This is easier on your dog and the people in your life, which also makes training easier.
Whatever name you choose for your pup, make sure you use it often and always in a positive way. It is wise never to use your puppy’s name when scolding him. Also, never call your puppy and then scold him.

Potty Training:Potty training your Yorkshire Terrier puppy will be easier when using the crate training method. It’s best to use a crate to confine your puppy whenever you can’t watch him for short periods of time. When you first have your puppy, you’ll need to take him out every 45 minutes to an hour to relieve himself. Make sure you take your pup through the same door and to the same spot in the yard each time. Repetition is the key to success. Crates are very important to use when potty training because your pup will instinctively want to keep his eating and sleeping area (his den/cage) clean. They will hold onto their potty for as long as they can, and therefore by using the crate, the puppy’s instincts will be working for you. Your puppy will learn when and where you want him to go to the bathroom.

Watch your puppy very carefully while he is in the process of potty training. You will notice that your puppy will begin to circle and sniff, looking for a place to go to the bathroom when he has to go. When you are looking at him, you can quickly take him to his place to go to the bathroom. By closely observing your Yorkshire Terrier puppy, you will notice his individual body language when you need to relieve himself. The most important and critical times to watch for these cues are as soon as he wakes up, as soon as he is done eating, first thing in the morning, after he is done playing, and as soon as you take him out of his crate. . Don’t let your puppy run loose when his eyes aren’t on him. Keep in mind that every time your pup has an accident, they are being potty trained on the spot, so it is very important to monitor them closely to help prevent these accidents. Consistency is the key to success.

Overall, a Yorkshire Terrier puppy is a great dog to have and with consistency, love, limits, and repetition, he will learn and pick up quickly. Remember to start training your puppy as soon as you bring him home, as this is the key to successful training. Owning a Yorkshire Terrier puppy is a very fun and fulfilling experience that requires your dedication to ensure that it is a positive experience. Don’t forget that your puppy depends on you for everything, and giving your Yorkshire Terrier Puppy proper training and education is one of the most important things you can give him. Have fun with your new puppy!
