The Modern Yorkshire Terrier Handbook

Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years

Most breed books tell you a Yorkie is a pampered lap dog. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.

I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.

What's inside

• Where the Yorkie came from, the terrier inside, and that silky coat

• Is a Yorkie right for you? Grooming, teeth, barking and children

• Teeth, kneecaps, liver shunts and the honking cough

• Exercise, home life and your puppy's first week

• Socialisation, adolescence and training foundations

• Other dogs, recall and barking at the gate: Yorkie training challenges

• The hunter, digging, enrichment, family life and other animals

• Common behaviour problems, and how to stop small ones growing

• Yorkshire Terrier myths, and living well with your dog into the senior years

There's a Yorkshire Terrier checklist at the back to keep coming back to.

Who it's for

Anyone thinking about a Yorkshire Terrier, bringing a puppy home, living with a teenager who's forgotten their own name, or sharing life with an older dog.
