Carry out training in the apartment, near the house, on a walk or in the country. Use the palatable method. If the dog is on dry food - then a piece of food, if not - then an unsalted cracker, a small piece of cheese or an apple. Shouts and punishments to Yorkies in no case should be used - conduct training only in a good mood, give commands in an encouraging, cheerful voice. Refrain from lisping and diminutive words. One training session should not be longer than 10 minutes; several of them can be carried out during the day. Only the owner who knows his character well should train the dog.

After the dog is good at the "Sit" command, teach him to push his paw from this position. Repeat the Paw command several times and gently push one of the front paws with your hand to bend it or take it above the wrist and lift it up to shoulder level. Hold on for a while in this position and give a reward.
Step 7
Yorkies learn easily and willingly, they can be trained throughout their lives. A well-mannered and well-trained dog will become your pride, and you can always control its behavior and prevent those dangers that may come its way.
