I got my Yorkie, Bear, in May and he is almost 5 months old now. He’s fully house trained and only has barked a few times. I crate trained him from day one and now when I tell him to go to bed he goes into his crate. I do work from home so I can spend all day with him around me. I think this has helped with house training and obedience. He loves to go for drives to take my son to school and pick him up afterwards but if I need to go in to a store I leave him home in the crate and he gets extra cuddles when I get home. My main thought when I got him was just to treat him as I would a big dog instead of an accessory and it has been working out great so far. Love your Yorkie videos! 🐾
Hi there:). It sounds like you have done an awesome job in training Bear. I agree that treating him just like he is a big dog is a great thing to do. I am so glad that you enjoy my videos, I have a really good time making them, and just always feel like I am talking to friends ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Megan, love your channel! My Yorkie, Teddy, is 7 mos old and the love of my life, next to my hubby! Enjoyed hearing about your experience - list of 10 - very helpful! Hope the tacos were good, see you again soon!
Hi there:). Oh my goodness, I love that your puppy is named Teddy. Our Teddy was the love of our lives ❤️❤️❤️❤️ The tacos were sooooo good, my husband is such a good cook!
I’m so sad I missed your live stream. This is so relatable!! I have two yorkies, Auggie and Penny, both are 4. All your 10 items are bang on!! I had a big giggle with bed sharing…. We have a king size bed and like you, my husband and I have a sliver of bed on each end and our two yorkies take up the rest.
I am so sorry! It was very last minute. I have been so busy, but saw an opportunity and hopped on:). I will try to plan more in advance soon ❤️❤️❤️. Our king bed in for the babies!
As a dental assistant you are correct. Dentals are important not only to save there teeth but, also could cause other health issues like heart disease.
I work so much so am never able to see your videos when they post or comment when I want to but just want to say that you inspired me to keep two yorkies for companionship and to bring them with me to work. I work at home and have been for over 5 years so never even thought to let my dogs stay with me in the office. Out of all the yorkie videos, yours are my favorite especially because I also am into health and beauty. I have 5 kids, 3 dogs, and a cat now and surprisingly we all get along.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my video:). It makes me so happy that my videos have inspired you, and helped you to have an even better relationship with your puppies!
I am a first time Yorkie owner. I adopted her when my BFF passed. My vets prescribed a Chewy for fleas and another for heartworm prevention. The chews are given the same day once a month, and they must taste good because she gobbles them up like they are a treat and wants more.
It is always worth looking into the ingredients in the chew. I use Dr. Dobias holistic flea care because most tradionional products contain neurotoxins.
My sweet little Bella passed from pancreatitis...this was very challenging throughout her 14 years. We too decided to "maybe" get two little yorkies but are afraid of them having pancreatitis. We miss our little girl! Love your videos!
Hi Megan, so nice to meet you! My husband and I are getting are baby Yorkie boy, tomorrow! {Reuben Reese} I lost my precious Loren, he was a Min Pin, on November 7th. He was my diabetic alert service dog for 10 years. I raised him from a puppy, he was 14 years old. It's taken me all this time, to be able to move forward. My blood glucose levels have been dropping into the 20's, extremely dangerous. I'll keep you posted on our training. Love, Angie & Reuben 🐶💙
Hi Megan! I love your videos!!! I’ve wanted a yorkie for a long time (18 months!) and will finally bring my baby home in October. I’m so excited! You will be happy to hear that my breeder does not let the puppies go until they are 12 weeks old. I’ve learned so much from your videos and you have a very sweet personality! Love the names of your dogs, can you please give me some ideas for cute names for a male.
That is music to my ears that you found a good breeder. I think that there are many of them out there, it is just taking your time and having the patience to find one. I look forward to hearing about your new baby in October:). Megan
My baby is about 6 yrs old and very smart, smart enough to be in charge of the house. At first we thought it was funny but not anymore. She can learn! She does go through spells of peeing in the house, especially when the weather is extreme. I am trying something new. When she goes out to potty and I see her do it, I meet her at the door with her treat and say "good potty." Don't know how this will work, but I'm going to try!
I love your videos and have been binging on them. You mentioned Teddy had a neurological disease and I’m wondering if it was GME? My tiny yorkie was diagnosed last July and it’s been a very very rough road for her and myself. Truly heartbreaking to watch the disease progress. I’d love to have someone to connect with that has personal experience in dealing with neurological diseases because as I’m sure you know, there are a lot of modifications that need to be made to help them live the best quality of life they can. Please comment back❤
Yes, he had GME. If I could do it all over again, I would have tested my home for mold with an ERMI test. (everyone thinks that their home does not have mold, but they are often wrong). I would have used all organic, clean low tox cleaning products and nothing fragranced in my home, and I would have gently detoxed Teddy. I really wish I knew then what I know now.
Hi! do you vaccinate your dogs every year or every 3 years? I have a 1 year old yorkie and I have read different opinions about the booster schedule. Thank you
Not everybody like my method of keeping my Yorkie from barking but it worked. I used A shock collar to stop her and it worked. I didn’t have it on 100 below 40 didn’t work for her but @40 did the trick. And I haven’t had to use it in her for years now all I have to say is “do you want shock?” If she’s doing something I don’t want her to do and she stops. She’s now 6 years old and she still remembers the collar I might’ve started using it on her @1years old or maybe even 6 months. I was living in an apartment. And didn’t want her aggravating people.
I regret not allowing her to walk with a harness. I have carried her everywhere. That was a mistake. There are so many unleashed dogs around so I worried a lot and that wasn't fair to her as a dog. My other yorkies in past walked with a harness and leash 🤷🏾♀️
hi Megan and pups and kitty. i am getting 2 yorkies pups in a couple of weeks. Should i get 2 females or 1 female and 1 male? What is your opinion on this?
I can't really say the name. I would only order dry dog food if it was on the "The truth about pet food" ebbok list. She researches and knows what is good.
I don't know if you know this but there are people on the net that are using the 3 yorkie picture to sell yorkies. I'm sure its spam but thought you should know
I regret not to do enough research about nutrition, now I see all youtube videos from Dr. Karen Becker and I have been feeding raw food for the last 10 years, I also do everything holistic, my yorkies never had tick meds or even vaccines, they are house girls and only play with 3 other yorkie friends so I give them natural things, vets don't learn about nutrition in college so most vets recommend kibble, my vet accepts raw food and even helps with any doubt I might have in terms of phosphorus or vitamins.
My Gracie gets car sick so I am not able to take her with me like I had planned. I hate leaving her home even for a hour. I’m older and home so she gets lots of attention. I hate giving her meds but I do if I take her for longer car rides.
Oh my gosh, you are so funny! Do it though, you will have a better long term companion that won't want to mark as much as a certain male I have (Alfie!). I felt like that with my cat Simba, but I'm glad I did it:)
We did do ours but be aware that it shortens their life by a couple years and also lowers muscle mass etc . It's like a hysterectomy without any after treatment .
Hello! Thanks for sharing your videos. I have a male Yorkie his name is Nico and he is 9 months old, your videos helped me to make a decision on getting mine. What do you suggest for flea and tick treatment? Or is there an all natural treatment? I didn't see anything referenced to a natural treatment/formula. Thanks
I got my baby groomed for the first time this week and they skinned her😢 I am just sick. But I always try to find a positive so at least I won’t have to have her groomed for months.
Hi Megan, I am new to your channel and I love your videos. I have a 2 year old yorkie called Rosie. Her nickname is 'rockstar' because her hair is always so wild and sticks up in the air, especially around the top of her head. I brush her every day, bathe every 10 days and groom every 10/12 weeks. Big but though grooming is always a battle as it's her least favourite thing so we only manage about 5/10 mins of brushing. I'm in the UK and am using a UK equivalent silky doggy shampoo/conditioner. No matter what I do though I just can't get rid of the straggly look. Any thoughts? Joyce x
Hi Joyce, I hope you are having a really good week. I'm not sure of how you can alleviate the scraggly look. Regular gentle brushing, a high quality diet (food grade, not feed grade), regular exercise, and a high quality shampoo and conditioner are key. Beyond that, every dog has different genetics, so some of it could be her hair too.
Look up the website for Dr. Dobias. I use his flea and tick products on my yorkies. ruclips.net/video/a2DUkiJT7B0/видео.html. I think you may like this live that I did about holistic dog care as well. Let me know ❤️❤️
My lil yorkie doesn't have all of his shots yet but his lil playpen he is in has pads on the floor but when 💩 he moves it in his bed if I don't get it up as soon as he done y does he do that that's NASTY TO ME
Thanks for the caps, I can see why that would not be pleasant. It sounds like he may have been separated too early from is mom (before 12 weeks) or kept in less than clean conditions as a puppy (before you got him) but it is hard to say. With training and patience over time, you should be able to break thin habit.
Hey Megan, I appreciate your videos! I had my beloved Yorkie, Luke, for nearly 15 years. He passed recently and I'm getting a new guy next month! The buddy belt you recommend as a puppy harness doesn't seem to be available. Do you have any other recs for a puppy harness? Thank you! I'm gathering as much info and supplies as I can because it's been a lonnnnnnng time since I had a puppy (and I need to avoid some of the pitfalls I got into last time. ) BTW... if you have any inclination to do a video on preventing separation anxiety, I'd love it. That was a big problem with Luke, so I want to start this new guy off right! Thank you!!!

Isopropyl Alcohol kills ticks. My shepherd had ticks so i used to get a tweezer and pluck them out. Alcohol killed them.
Great tip

I hate that the AKC standard is to dock Yorkie's tails, In Europe they don.t allow that practice.
❤️

I have a very small Yorkie she's 10 weeks I can't find a very small harness where I find one. As she's so very tiny. X
I'm not sure, but congratulations. I have never brought a yorkie home before they were 12 weeks old.
Hi! do you vaccinate your dogs every year or every 3 years? I have a 1 year old yorkie and I have read different opinions about the booster schedule. Thank you

I have never seen a shock collar that was a safe size for a yorkie. I would not use that on a dog personally.
What about doggy playdates?
What about them?
I regret not allowing her to walk with a harness. I have carried her everywhere. That was a mistake. There are so many unleashed dogs around so I worried a lot and that wasn't fair to her as a dog. My other yorkies in past walked with a harness and leash 🤷🏾♀️

I think the same question popped up multiple times. From you.
so true
Can you please attach the spray for the flea and ticks
Thank you so much for reminding me! I just added it at the end of the description:)
he’s cute!-
Thank you
What is the brand of kibble that made y9ur dog sick? I would like to know as a yorkie owner myself
I can't really say the name. I would only order dry dog food if it was on the "The truth about pet food" ebbok list. She researches and knows what is good.
I don't know if you know this but there are people on the net that are using the 3 yorkie picture to sell yorkies. I'm sure its spam but thought you should know
I did not. Could you send me a link please?
How do I give my Yorkie a heartworm pill? My Yorkie spits it out when wrapped in food. I crumble it up in his food and he won't eat. The pill is huge.
I wish I had some tips for you? Maybe try dipping it in Peanut butter?
Mine starts throwing up as soon as the car is moving.
And did you start with car when when they were puppies?
I regret not to do enough research about nutrition, now I see all youtube videos from Dr. Karen Becker and I have been feeding raw food for the last 10 years, I also do everything holistic, my yorkies never had tick meds or even vaccines, they are house girls and only play with 3 other yorkie friends so I give them natural things, vets don't learn about nutrition in college so most vets recommend kibble, my vet accepts raw food and even helps with any doubt I might have in terms of phosphorus or vitamins.
So true, most vets do not know enough about nutrition.
Our yorkie (8 months) chews on the furniture, walls, and anything she can. Does anyone have ideas on this? She has many toys.
They have sprays that u can buy from a pet store to spray on furniture and other things. It leaves a taste that dogs don’t like.
I would speak to your vet, and a dog trainer. Also, do not leave your yorkie unattended.
My Gracie gets car sick so I am not able to take her with me like I had planned. I hate leaving her home even for a hour. I’m older and home so she gets lots of attention. I hate giving her meds but I do if I take her for longer car rides.
I’m so sorry that she gets carsick. The same thing used to happen to Poppy when she was younger.
you are so pretty
Thank you!
I am getting my first yorkie puppy Dec 30. I am watching all your videos!! What is the best food? Thanks so much!!
I would read the ebook (google it) the truth about pet food to find the best food for your yorkie.
Hi Megan; #Zeus had an appointment to get “neutered” today, but at the last minute I canceled his appointment, I just couldn’t do it. 😢
