Yokie Barking Behavior
Yorkies often bark because they lack the proper socialization skills and feel
territorial or threatened. When a pet Yorkie barks every time someone walks by
the house, the neighbors go out, or other normal everyday occurrences, it
quickly becomes a nuisance. Working with your dog on socialization and training
skills can help overcome this annoying problem. Take your Yorkshire terrier for
a walk around your area so he meets children, people, and becomes accustomed to
different sounds, sights, and smells. Make a point of putting your dog on a
leash and taking him with you to chat with neighbors. This helps reduce the dogs
stress level making him less likely to bark continuously at every little sound
or person. Take your dog to obedience class to learn obedience commands and then
use these in daily situations. Never yell at the dog when he starts barking
excessively but instead, go over and say 'No Barking' putting him in the sitting
position. When your dog stops barking, praise him. With socialization and
training practice, you can curb your Yorkies continuous barking.
The 'Quiet' command also works well on Yorkies that bark excessively, often, and
for no apparent reason. Be sure to have a pocket full of treats handy to reward
your dog. When your Yorkshire terrier starts on a barking binge, wait until he
stops barking for a second or two and say 'Quiet'. Immediately give your Yorkie
a reward and praise him. Consistently use the 'Quiet' command over the next week
or so, giving your Yorkie a treat and praise, until he recognizes and
understands the command. When you say 'Quiet' and your dog immediately looks for
its treat, you know he understands the command. You can now use this command to
curb his barking behavior. If your Yorkshire terrier continues to bark, say 'No,
Quiet' sharply and clearly to get the dogs attention and if he stops, give the
dog a treat and praise. If the verbal correction did not stop him, put his leash
on and remove him from the area until your Yorkie is calmed down. Continue this
'Quiet' technique until it works every time and curbs his excessive barking
behavior. Remember to be consistent.
