Yorkie Dog Strollers

If you like to go for walks or to go jogging, you'll be happy to know you can take your yorkie along with you. Even if your yorkie is older or injured, you can bring him along if you have a dog stroller. There are many different colors and styles of dog strollers to choose from and many have great features like a cup holder for your drink and zippered compartments for your belongings.

Some dog strollers even have a removable top section that doubles as a carrier for your yorkie.

Dog strollers make it easy to take your yorkie with you to places they normally couldn't go, like a parade where it would be very crowded. Dog strollers are also great for when you have to take your yorkie to the vet.

Whether you just want to go for a short walk or need to travel with your yorkie, a dog stroller is a great choice for transporting your yorkie.

Yorkie Feeding Guidelines

Here are a few things to keep in mind when feeding your yorkie:

• Try to feed your yorkie in the same place and at the same time everyday. Your yorkie should also eat in a quiet place where it won't be disturbed.

• Break up any large sized pieces of food or meat to avoid a choking hazard.

• Try to only give your yorkie room temperature food.

• Put out plenty of fresh water for your yorkie to drink.

• Clean out your yorkie's food dish after every meal. Wash it out with hot water to kill off any bacteria that may be there.

• Don't feed your yorkie any food or leftovers that have been seasoned. Yorkie kidneys can't process herbs and spices.

• Sweets are not good for yorkies. They can cause tarter and cause your yorkie to be overweight.

• Milk can give your yorkie diarrhea, so you should avoid giving it to your yorkie.

Yorkie Care: The Teeth

You should start getting your yorkie used to dental care as soon as possible. This will make taking care of your yorkie's teeth much easier when it gets older.

Proper nutrition is the best way to prevent tooth problems later on. Hard food is good for keeping tartar off of your yorkie's teeth and you can find several brands of food made with "small bites" that are perfect for a yorkie.

Chew bones and toys are also great for keeping a yorkie's teeth in great condition.

You can also get a toothbrush and dog toothpaste to keep your yorkie's teeth clean. Make sure that the toothbrush is soft bristled and don't use human toothpaste or baking soda on your yorkie.

How to Select a Yorkie Puppy

Here are a few things to consider when you go to choose your yorkie puppy:

• Watch the yorkie puppy's behavior. Most puppies will be scared to meet a stranger, but you should pick one that is curious about you and not one that runs away and hides from you.

• Check to make sure that the yorkie puppy is lively, playful and curious.

• Check the yorkie's eyes for sticky goo or inflammation.

• A yorkie puppy's coat should be shiny and free of tangles and it should be clean.

• Check inside the yorkie puppy's ears to make sure they aren't dirty or have any sores.

Important Yorkie Equipment & Accessories

Here is a list of some basic equipment you should have if you're getting a new yorkie puppy:

• Dog Bed: Your yorkie will need a soft, warm place to sleep. A good choice for your yorkie's bed is a covered bed made of a soft material like foam. Make sure that it will be able to keep your yorkie warm at night. Most yorkie beds have a removable cover that is easy to clean in the washing machine.

• Leash & Collar: These are absolutely necessary for when your yorkie goes for walks outside. Since yorkies are so small, make sure that the leash is lightweight and that the collar will be small enough so your yorkie can't slip out.
  

• Food & Water Dishes: Stainless steel dishes work great for feeding your yorkie. Make sure they have a rubber ring on the bottom or have a rack so your yorkie can't tip them over. Stainless steel dishes are also good because they can be washed in boiling hot water to kill any bacteria that may be in them.
  

• Food: Make sure you ask the person you're getting your yorkie from what kind of food they are currently feeding the yorkie. Your yorkie could get sick if you change their food abruptly.

• Toys: Yorkies love to play! The best toys for yorkies are small balls and rings made of solid rubber or latex. Try to avoid plastic toys that could splinter and hurt your yorkie or even worse, choke them.
  

• Combs & Brushes: A yorkie needs to be brushed often to keep its coat looking great.
  

5 Rules For Yorkie Training

Yorkie training is not an easy task, but following these five rules will help you and your yorkie along the way:

1. One person from your family should do all of the training. Your yorkie could get confused if trained by more than one person.



2. Make sure all of your family members use the same commands to avoid confusing the yorkie.
   



3. Be consistent and maintain authority. Yorkies need to have clear rules know exactly what it is and isn't allowed to do.



4. Never train your yorkie by hitting it. The best way to see results from your yorkie training is to use rewards for doing a command correctly and are scold the yorkie when a command is done incorrectly. Simply using a different tone of voice is sufficient for scolding.



5. When you first start your yorkie training, make sure the sessions only last a few minutes at a time. Your yorkie will get bored with long training sessions and it may not learn as quickly.

Make sure you think it over carefully when you think about getting a yorkie. Your little yorkie will be with you for many years and is a big responsibility. Here are some things to consider before you decide to purchase or adopt a yorkie:

• Will your landlord allow you to have a yorkie?

• Do you have someone who will take care of your yorkie if you need to go on a trip or decide to take a vacation and it can't go with you?

• Is anyone in your family allergic to dogs?
