I can answer any questions regarding breeding, potty training, grooming and general health questions. I can tell you what to look for when purchasing a Yorkie to ensure you buy the pet you desire.
Experience
Experience in the area: I have been breeding Yorkshire Terriers for over 20 years. I have had experience with c-sections, how to revive dead puppies, handling birthing complications and what you should and should not do when breeding. Publications: I have written a book entitled "Yorkshire Terriers - A Common Sense Guide To Breeding and Everything Else". The book is available on my website, www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html as a downloadable PDF
Education/Credentials: My experience with breeding Yorkshire Terriers and having them as pets for over 20 years has taught me a lot. The mistakes I have made can be put to good use because I can pass the information on to others and help them not to make the same mistakes.
Question I just got a yorkie puppy who is 10 weeks old. Not sure if she is teething but she is a mean chewing machine and nothing is off limits including my feet. I say a firm no but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I give her toys but she still wants to play by biting. Any suggestions.
Answer Julie,
Puppies will be puppies. Biting is just a part of how they play. Continue to tell her no when she bites you and move her away from your feet after you say no. It will take a little time but she will soon catch on that biting the feet is not allowed. The chewing is another problem. Get some rawhide sticks from your local grocery store or pet store and when she is chewing on something she is not supposed to then tell her no and give her a rawhide chew.
Consistency and repetition are the keys to training any puppy. So by being consistent every time she starts to chew on something that she is not supposed to will enable her to catch on and learn not to chew things that are inappropriate. She is a puppy and needs to chew so give her something that she can chew on.
