How to Train Yorkie Poos

A Yorkie Poo is a mix of a Teacup Poodle and a Yorkshire terrier. The Yorkie Poo is a small friendly, outgoing dog with a desire to please its owner. Due to the Yorkie Poos natural desire to please its owner, they can be easy to train.

• Work with your dog each day. Training is a constant and repetitive process. Setting aside fifteen minutes each day to train your dog can help your dog learn new commands quickly.


• Seek helpful tips online. Basic commands like "sit" and "down" can be easy to teach. However, if you want to teach your dog more advanced training routines like "roll over" or "speak" you may want to seek the help of the online community.


• Be firm with your dog. Repeat commands in a firm and authoritative voice. For example, firmly say "sit" while pressing your dog's rump down with your hand. When your dog is in a sitting position, reward him or her with a treat and an enthusiastic "Good sit!"


• Give treats to your dog only when they perform the action properly. Rewarding the improper behavior may encourage your dog to repeat the behavior.


• Look into group training classes. Some dogs and owners may do better in a group training class monitored by a professional dog trainer. Learning in a professional setting can help deter bad behavior and teach your dog how to behave in a group of canines.


• Train with only one person. A dog can get confused if two people are telling it the same command. Assign one person to train the dog until the dog knows the commands.
