When you get him home!
A Silky or Yorkshire Terrier (dog) is a creature of habit,
Toilet training starts from an early age as soon as puppies start crawling walking around in their playpen or box at that stage we place some newspaper or puppy pads in the box so that the puppies learn to do their business onto it and not onto their bedding. As the puppies get older they get more and more confident and with a bit of encouragement go onto the newspaper or puppy pads. From about the age of 6 - 8 weeks is the time to start teaching your puppy to go onto the grass.
This is usually easily done by observing a few golden rules. Each time your puppy wakes up, take it outside to a grassy or other absorbent area and wait to see if it empties out if the pup performs, give it a command word "Get busy", god boy/girl. the pup will learn to go on command, after some time. If the pup has emptied out it will probably be safe to bring it in for an hour or so. Keep doors to adjoining rooms closed.
Also take your puppy outside within 3 too 5 minutes of each meal. Full tummies tend to make pups empty out.
Pay attention. Pups circle before they go to the toilet. [Most do anyway]. If you are unable to keep a close eye on the pup use a cage or crate in the house to confine the pup and observe the above rules to take the pup out. This works with adult Silky's too. 3 too 5 weeks is needed to train most animals although many are quicker.
Most dogs empty on something absorbent. If you have carpet inside and concrete outside, chances are your pooch prefers the carpet. Overcome this by providing something absorbent outside a special toilet training pad, tray of soil piece of carpet you can clean. "Good Boy" toilet training adds to encourage and discourage areas are available. When house training, never punish the animal, it is your fault for being careless. Punishing often teaches pups to sneak off and do it out of sight in another room, or behind the lounge. Work on praise for correct behaviour. Thoroughly clean "wrong" places. Perfume often repels dogs - try some on the spot. An upside down terracotta flower pot is sometimes recommended for male puppy! Dogs tend to return to the same place. A fully indoor dog can be trained to one place, a indoor pet potty lawn or something similar to that will help you.- use guides above.
Being firm repetitive is one of the most important things you need to do when it comes to toilet training. If your dog had an accident inside please clean it up but never use pino - clean cleaner this product smells for dogs like Cat pee.
Next step, Training / Conformation / Obedience!
There is one area of training which is advantageous for both Conformation and Obedience. In Conformation it is called "baiting" , in Obedience it is called "attention". For those who are thinking of doing both Conformation and Obedience developing concentration is the best place to begin. The Silky naturally has attention which jumps quickly from sensory stimuli to stimuli (sights and sounds). Except in certain circumstances concentration is short termed. This makes Obedience performance erratic. Although Silky's can do all the exercises very well looks better than the one that responses to everything outside the ring. Begin by teaching the young hopeful to focus on one spot on the handler's body on command. The face works well in both fields. Also teach the dog to follow with his eyes the movement of the right hand. Using food is a good way to shape the action (eyes moving from anywhere to the face) and to motivate repeating the action When the pupil performs correctly the foot is a reward. Eventually move the hand without the foot in it. At first the command (word or sound) occurs while the dog is performing (conditioning). Then it is used before the action. Teach one little step at the time. Eyes move to the face. Reward. Eyes move to the face. Command then reward. Eyes move to the face with no food in the hand. Reward. And so on until your Silky will turn around and look at you when given the command.
Be a responsible owner. Socialising your dog is important to help it to enjoy the company of people and other dogs, and help prevent fear and problems in upbringing young dogs. Dogs are social animals and thrive on companionship, so making sure your Silky or Yorkshire Terrier is well behaved around people will help establish harmonious relationships that benefit everyone in your Family.
