Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Snickers! She is a 9-month-old Yorkshire Terrier who began her Basic Obedience training this past week. She is a rescue whose current owner reached out to us for training because she was having potty training issues, pulling on leash on walks, increasing excitement issues and wanted to make sure her obedience got started off on the right track.
The Yorkshire terrier is a small toy dog breed from England, recognizable by its long, silky coat, often black and tan. Known as Yorkies, these dogs have tenacious yet affectionate personalities. Yorkies tend to be very vocal, protective, and loyal. And, despite their small size, they can make excellent guard dogs. But, at heart, they are wonderful companions who enjoy pampering and snuggling up to their loved ones.
Yorkies are no couch potato. They are active little dogs who need regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Aim to provide two 15- to 30-minute walks per day. Going at a moderate pace should be sufficient for a Yorkie to burn off energy. Yorkies also should be able to run and play off leash. They can have loads of fun and be mentally stimulated with activities like fetch, dog sports, and agility.
Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Snickers! We look forward to helping your owner become the calm, confident pack leader you will need to settle into your new home.
