Grooming Yorkies.

Whether your yorkie has a long or short coat, a regular grooming schedule is an absolute must. Yorkies with long coats should be groomed daily. I keep my yorkie cut reasonably short as she doesn't enjoy being groomed and therefore grooming her isn't fun for me. My small Yorkshire terrier isn't much of a princess. Want loads more info about yorkie training. She is pretty much a tomboy and a shorter cut fits her personality too. A yorkie with a short coat does require upkeep.

I find using the kitchen sink is the best place for my small yorkies bath. I am getting her coat awfully wet and then using a good amount of shampoo, I carefully work the lather into her skin. I towel dry her being cautious not to rub her energetically with the towel as this will cause tangles. A Yorkie will bark for a variety of different reasons, from needing to go outside to a loud noise that shocks them. You can cut back on how much your Yorkie barks by guaranteeing he is taken out on regular walks, so he has lots of time to do his business and shed excess energy. The toys will help to keep him occupied almost all of the time, and it wont hurt to give him some additional attention if he starts to bark.

Yorkies also have a tendency to bark when they hear an unfamiliar noise or something scares them, or maybe if they hear somebody walking outside their home. A technique to train your Yorkie to stop barking is by teaching him to communicate. By teaching him the command to communicate, you are also teaching the lesson that barking is only authorized when asked by his owner. Once he has gotten the talk command down clean, you can begin to teach the quiet command to allow him know it's time to stop. Employing a toy or something to snatch your Yorkies attention is an alternate way to make him stop barking,eg a squeak toy or a can full of dimes. They are going to take care of cutting the toenails and cutting round the fragile areas.
