Puppy Sellers

The Yorkshire Terrier has had quite a bit of bad press over many decades, and although it isn’t closely related to a lot of the more troublesome and allegedley violent dogs, it has none the less earned quite a reputation that needs addressing…

In fact we can actually address the issue in a much more broad sense here and use the Yorkshire Terrier as an example.  The Yorky has it’s roots in hunting, as we all know.  This little determined dog has been used for centuries to flush out foxes and badgers and also catch the mice and rats in the mills and mine shafts of Yorkshire.

Despite it’s small size the Yorky’s reputation is usually that of the “little nipper” or something like that, and it has often got away with biting people and other pets because of it’s small size.  However, the fact remains that the Yorky is actually one of the most loyal and affectionate breeds of dog an owner could care to have.

But there is the problem – the owner.  It is virtually always down to the owner.  The Yorkshire Terrier is a pack leader type of dog and if the owner does not take the lead and control things from the start then this dog will almost certainly take charge without being asked!  Their over protective and neurotic behaviour in a home is only created and further fuelled by a week owner.  The owner must take steps to be the pack leader in the house or this tiny little dog will take over their life.

There are steps on this website that can help you with training your dog to learn its place in your pack!
