To help your Yorkie dog learn to retrieve scratch his chest with one hand. Your Yorkie dogs will sit holding the retrieval training object you have chosen for a long time so long as this pleasurable scratching continues.

Once my mom owned a Yorkie who loved to steal food. She decided to teach the dog proper behavior, to refrain from stealing food whenever he was tempted. My puppies always have bones that they use for chew toys in plenty, big marrow bones, not tiny ones that might splinter. This way I know what they are chewing on, and the puppies know they are allowed to chew on what I sanction.

One of the most common problems dog owners face is when dogs jump. Jumping dogs are can be a nuisance and can even knock people over sometimes. Puppies are usually taught that jumping up is ok from a young age. Most puppies are invited to jump up as many dog owner find this behavior cute and affectionate. A full grown dog however can become a real problem.

One of the most common dog behavior questions I get all the time is "How do you crate train pets?" Most people make the common mistake of using the crate for punishment and marvel at why they can not get their canine to "voluntarily" go in it when it is required. The object being is: the crate is not for punishment. It is for "sanctuary" and security. Canines are "den" animals and want to feel relaxed and calm when "settled in", not panic-stricken.

Does your dog love to dig? Digging is commonly voted one of the most annoying behavior problems of all dogs. Every year thousands of dog owners worldwide lose their gardens to their dog's desires to dig.

It's in a dog's natural instincts to dig which makes digging one of the toughest problems of all to remedy. Nordic dog's are the most renowned diggers, if you are considering adopting a dog and love your garden, stare clear of breeds originating in Siberia, Scandinavia and Alaska.

It would be hard to believe that the adorable puppy you welcomed into your house could become a dog that is a single problem away from being given up. It is not a single occurrence that creates aggressive dogs. Dogs aren't born to be aggressive towards people. Dogs that are properly trained and well cared for rarely become aggressive. If you adopted your dog as an adult you will need to be particularly cautious and be sure that your dog has proper obedience training.
