Training Techniques For Yorkshire Terriers Puppy

2011-09-01T13:25:00.001-07:00

Since all toy and small breeds of dogs can be a challenge to housetrain, getting off on the right foot with training is really important with Yorkshire Terriers. Yorkie breeders may have already started some basic training, particularly if the Yorkie dogs or puppies are a bit older or past the minimum 8 week mark of when they can be removed from the mother and litter. Teacup Yorkies, although they stay small all their lives, still need to be trained for safety purposes as well as to have a wonderful, well-behaved companion.

While sit, come, lie down and stay are the most common tricks that Yorkshire Terriers are taught, there are some other tricks that are add-ons to these basic tricks that can be a great way to add variety to training routines as well as keep your dog engaged in learning. Yorkie breeders are always concerned when selling Yorkshire Terriers, be it standard, toy or Teacup Yorkies to owners that seem to want a doll, rather than a dog.

While Yorkies are cute and loving and make ideal companion pets, they are lively, athletic and very intelligent dogs that need to be given the chance to really be active pets. Although mostly a show and companion dog now, the Yorkshire Terriers are true terriers at heart. They love to be challenged, to learn new things and to get a chance to be a dog. Allowing Yorkie dogs to work in different areas, to complete different training routines and to learn new tricks is an ideal way to keep training fun for both the dog and the owner.

The reality of training Yorkshire Terriers is that you need to be able to spend time with them, and provide more attention to the pet than you would have to give to many other breeds. In return for this attention and affection, you will have a loving and loyal companion that will be with you and your family for fifteen or more years. Working with the pet and using the Yorkie dog's natural instincts, behaviors and interests is important in successful training. Yorkie breeders can often provide a great deal of insight into how to successfully work with your Yorkie, regardless of his or her age.

Yorkshire Terriers that have developed bad habits will have to both unlearn and then relearn new tasks, so teaching the right way the first time is important.

Yorkshire Terriers will have the hunting instinct of all terriers, and may be a bit difficult to train, but will be highly intelligent and able to figure out how to get in and out of cupboards, how to find treats where they are hidden, and how to find the right place to sit in your lap for hours on end. They will be great dogs with your older children, and will learn to play with other pets in the family with a little training and socialization.

Training techniques for Yorkshire Terriers that are recommended by most Yorkie breeders are those that are positive, focused on developing a bond between the dog and the owner, as well as avoiding over stressing or being overly demanding of the dog. As a terrier the Yorkie dog's will have a natural hunting instinct and will also be prone to chasing, so training in quiet, distraction free areas when learning new tricks is essential.

Not all Yorkshire Terriers can learn the same tricks, so watching your dog's natural behavior and then deciding what tricks would work into your training routine based on that observation is the best training technique of all. Once the Yorkie dog's understanding of what you want is developed, he or she will be willing to work with you to learn all sorts of variations and add-ons to the basic tricks.

Many Yorkie breeders and Yorkie owners strongly recommend a puppy obedience class for a Yorkie. If you have a Teacup Yorkie, consider a class for toy or small sized dogs where he or she won't feel intimidated or possibly risk injury with much larger puppies. In larger cities and areas there are often several different groups that offer training, consider asking your breeder which one he or she would recommend. Always talk to the trainer in advance to make sure that you can attend a class for smaller sized puppies.

Electric fence for dogs

Dogs are wonderful life long companions who can make your day interesting and entertained at the same time. Unfortunately over 30 thousand dogs a year are struck by automobiles in American. An electric fence for dogs is a sure means of keeping your dog safe and home in contrast to the alternative of becoming a national statistic. Some think that dog fence systems are cruel but when one thinks about the consequences of not keeping your dog safe and home, in fact it is much crueler to not consider this type of fence.

New Yorkshire Terrier Puppies

2011-09-01T13:22:00.000-07:00

It is very exciting to get a new puppy and to be able to bring him or her home isn't it?

But, often people are not aware of how challenging this process can be. It is important to plan for the arrival of your new Yorkshire Terrier puppy to avoid frustration, damaged items and to provide the safest possible environment for your puppy and family.

Spending a few hours to puppy-proof your house and to insure the proper introduction of the puppy to the home will set the tone for your relationship with the puppy.

While there are several things that you need to consider, one of the first aspects of bringing Yorkshire terrier puppies home is to have the correct supplies. In addition to the supplies, you'll need the right attitude to work with the puppy, a space that is designed for the puppy to stay in, as well as a schedule for feeding and exercise.

You should also have a basic idea of the training methods you are going to use with the puppy, as well as a good grasp of how you were going to start this process.

A Yorkie breeder will often help you work out all that you need.

BASIC SUPPLIES

Before bringing your Yorkshire terrier puppy home it is important to have all the basic supplies to make the puppy feel at home. Talk to the Yorkie breeder or the previous owner if it all possible, to determine what type of food the puppy was eating and any special dietary requirements that the breed may have. The basic supplies are:

A good book on Yorkie puppy health, care and training methods. Check with your breeder to see if they have a particular book or author that they recommend. If the puppy has begun a training method, make sure that it continues as much as possible with the already established commands.

A wire or plastic dog crate that is the correct size for the Yorkshire Terrier puppy that you have purchased. A small teacup Yorkie will require a smaller crate than a larger Yorkie, naturally. By the way, did you know that teacup Yorkies are not an AKC recognized breed?

Good quality bedding material for inside the crate that cannot be easily chewed or destroyed. It is important that this material be washable, as there will be times when it will meet to be cleaned.

A special puppy collar that is of a soft fabric or woven material. The collar should have a buckle fastener and should not be too tight for the puppy's neck. You should be able to easily insert two fingers between the puppy's neck and the collar.

If you cannot, the collar is too small and a larger size will meet to be purchased. A good lead will also be needed when walking Yorkshire Terrier puppies. Many people use a retractable lead to make walking the dog much easier.

Purchase an identification tag that can be put on the caller. A Yorkshire Terrier puppy purchased from a breeder may already be micro chipped or tattooed with identification. While this is an excellent way to identify the dog, it is also important to have an easy to read tag in the event that the puppy wanders away or becomes lost. Make sure your phone number and name is on the tag.

You will also require any grooming supplies that your Yorkie may need.

It is important to talk to the Yorkie breeder to find out at what age you can begin to clip your dog. Most dogs do not get their full adult coat until after 10 months of age and it is important to not clip prior to the time.

To keep your Yorkshire Terrier puppy busy and entertained when you're not able to play with them, it is important to get some puppy toys. They should be hard plastic and without any parts that can be chewed and swallowed by the dog.

Remember, if the puppy has toys to play with they will be less likely to chew on household items.

You will need to have good quality dry puppy food ready when the puppy arrives. Ask the seller what type of food they have started your puppy on, and begin feeding that at your home. You can then gradually change over to a different kind of food, by combining the new food with the old food until the puppy adjusts. This will prevent sudden shocks to the puppy's digestive system that could result in diarrhea or other stomach concerns.

One stainless steel or heavy plastic bowl for water and one for food. Make sure that you buy a bowl style that cannot be easily tipped over. Puppies will need clean water at least twice a day. Some people choose automatic dispensing feeders and water bowls. While this does make it easier for the owner, it is not essential.

If you have stairs in your house or you would like to keep the puppy confined to one area, you may wish to consider purchasing baby gates. These can be used to prevent the poppies from being able to enter or exit different rooms of the house.

You may also wish to consider purchasing a spray-on no-chew product. These can be purchased commercially from any pet store. If you wish to use a homemade spray, you can mix one part of apple cider vinegar and one part of water. Be careful with this spray as it may cause discoloration to furniture. It is also important to test the commercially available products prior to spraying.

Mortarmen launch rounds down range

2011-08-28T09:02:00.000-07:00

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Mortarmen new to 2nd Marine Division spent Aug. 18 honing their skills on range MP-5, to get 60 mm mortars on target.

The day of training took place as a way to refine the skills of mortarmen, the majority of whom recently graduated from their military occupational specialty school, by ensuring they have the knowledge to guide 60 mm mortars on target.

The Marines setup their mortars and preformed gunline-procedures, the various steps involved to sight-in and bombard targets. As the Marines launched mortars down range, Marines serving as forward observers radioed in the grid coordinates of the impacts. The mortarmen then used that information to adjust fire and get rounds on target.

"We want to make sure they can get rounds down range as fast as possible to get the mission complete," said Cpl. Anthony Gonzales, a mortarman with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd MarDiv. "They need to be very precise."

The training also served as way to prepare mortarmen from 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd MarDiv, for their upcoming deployment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The Battalion is scheduled to attach to the 24th MEU in September and form into its' Battalion Landing Team.

"This is the basics," said 1st Lt. Justin Nabozna, the platoon commander for Weapons Company, 1/2, 2nd MarDiv. "We have to work our way up to MEU operations. If we have proficient 60 mm mortarmen then the Battalion Landing Team's ground combat element will have three mortar sections, that they can task out to each company, to use in the offense, defense and patrolling."

Going Down Range

2011-01-04T11:47:00.000-08:00

I am a wee bit drunk as I type this. 365 days ago I was also drunk. How do I remember that fact? That was the last time I had a few pints before I went to Afghanistan was also St. Patrick’s Day. Now I was back at the same pub drinking a few pints, but I did stop this time after five pints, because soon I will be flying on the big iron bird home to my wife and kids, versus going down range.

For the past ten days I have been out processing or de-mobilizing in army speak. Go to CIF to turn in my body armor and all my other bits of field gear. Have the doctor ask me about my health, metal and physical. Did I see any dead bodies? I asked him US, coalition, or civilian? He put down yes in all three columns. Finance calculated my terminal or now referred to as transition leave. The dentist advised me to get my teeth cleaned when I got home.

I now have three big folders, stuffed with papers, saying I am now a combat veteran. It feels like I just I blinked my eyes and I was leaving, but when I think about it was a long 365 days in Kandahar. I am trying to remember how many ramp ceremonies I went to. Way too many. But we (The US military) did lots of good there.

I have no regrets. I helped open schools, train the Afghan National Army and Police, secure roads and arrange Hajj pilgrims go to Mecca. This fact will never make the newspapers or the cable new trash channels: there are no protesters chanting:

“Americans go home, come back Taliban.” The Afghans like us and want us to stay. And stay we will. I expect tours in Afghanistan will be like tours for US personnel in Korea during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. A long hardship tour.

The interpreters I worked with wished me good luck and a safe journey home. I told them that I would visit them in a few years with my family and show them where the TICs and IEDs were at. I gave them a hug and wished them a safe, peaceful and prosperous future.

What is interesting is how many soldiers are going to the Active Army from the reserve. A lot. A few requested Iraq. That was a surprise. A couple of soldiers are ETS’ing or leaving the army, but many more re-upped to stay in the reserves. This is a post in it self.

I will be writing and posting a few more images when I get home. I have many themes and ideas for more posts written down in my notebook. I have a few ideas for a novel that I am bouncing around. Maybe if I have enough or as my platoon Sergeant would say “make some time” I start will writing.

While I was at the bar we were making toast: “to electricity, to in-door plumbing, or beer.” Then people mentioned names of fallen comrades. Last somebody said “To Tehran in ’07.”

115th ‘Warrior Medics’ head downrange

2011-01-04T11:46:00.001-08:00

A gray, rain-filled sky echoed the sentiments of damily, friends and co-workers who gathered at Fort Polk’s 1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade Gym Dec. 29 to bid Godspeed to members of the 115th Combat Support Hospital, 1st Medical Brigade, during a ceremony for the unit’s upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

“If you’re a Warrior medic, this ceremony was probably not on your list of things to do,” Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk commander Brig. Gen. James Yarbrough said. “You’ve reached a point where you get what I call the Nike attitude about deploying — you’ve talked about it, thought about it, trained for it, now let’s ‘Just Do It.’”

Yarbrough said the 115th CSH’s mission is critical to the success of Operation Enduring Freedom. “No medical unit is better prepared than this one,” he said.
After speaking to the qualities of the 115th CSH leadership team — Col. Patricia Darnauer and Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Motes — Yarbrough turned his comments to the unit’s family members.

“You’ve got the tough job — living with uncertainty, wanting to know each moment how your loved one is faring, waiting for the next update and clinging to the news reports each day,” he said. “Please know your country understands your sacrifices and we’re all in this together; the mission is critical and we can’t succeed without you. Your strength and encouragement is helping win this war.”

Yarbrough also thanked the surrounding civilian community for its support.
“Your support is stronger now than it’s ever been and it comes at a time when we need it the most,” he said. “You care about our mission, our soldiers and our families. Thank you.”

Col. Bruce McVeigh, commander of 1st Med Bde, followed Yarbrough to the podium. He said the soldiers of the 115th CSH were ready to take up their assigned mission.
“This unit is clearly ready to deploy and provide critical life saving care when called upon,” McVeigh said. “They will make a difference in the lives of many who will ultimately need their care for survival on what is still a very volatile battlefield.”

Darnauer was the last to speak. She said the 115th CSH is ready to provide essential and critical medical care in an austere environment.

“The 115th has trained hard to prepare for this deployment,” Darnauer said. “Those deployers organic to Fort Polk have received more than 2,400 man-days of training, while we’ve trained 92 medical professionals who joined our ranks just in time to deploy with us. We are ready to step up and write the next chapter in the history of the 115th Combat Support Hospital.”

She then addressed her soldiers’ families.
“Command Sgt. Maj. Motes and I commit to safeguarding your soldier in every preventable manner,” she said.

Darnauer said she has also urged her soldiers to develop a personal growth plan while deployed.

“Whether that be physical, spiritual or educational, we hope your soldier returns next year an ever stronger individual, better capable of coping with life’s challenges.”

Darnauer said both the soldiers in the field and the rear detachment would stay in constant contact so that both were aware of activities both in Afghanistan and on Fort Polk. She then looked forward to the deployment’s completion.

“We’ll return next winter with reflections on our accomplishments and joy in our hearts as we are united with those who have supported us during the months of separation,” she said. “We look forward to our next ceremony at Fort Polk when we uncase our colors after a successful deployment.”
