Like all good breeders, Star Yorkie Kennel CA want to ensure that the adopted puppies go to good families, where they will receive the best care possible. For the adopting families, it is important to be aware of the necessary measures to ensure safety of your pet. Although it is tempting to let your young puppy play with other dogs right away, resist until she has had her first few rounds of vaccines. Her immune system is still developing, and those vaccines don’t have super powers. It actually takes a few weeks to build immunity following vaccination. Exposing her to other dogs could make her sick. Ask your veterinarian when the time is appropriate to mix the puppy with other animals. Just like a baby, puppies need regular health maintenance their first year of life. Check with your vet, but normally your pup will be de wormed and get vaccines when she’s 8, 12, and 16 weeks old. She can be spayed (and male puppies neutered) around 6 months. A heart worm preventive can be ...

Star Yorkie Kennel CA has admitted that it is extremely easy to spoil a small dog, even to the point of the dog becoming a major nuisance. They have to be put through the same rigors of obedience training as any big dog would. They have to be taught what behaviors are acceptable and which ones are not. Just like with our children, it is easy to overlook bad behavior, and some parent’s even reward it. Here are a few tips that you can implement right away.

Little dogs can intrude on big dogs and big dogs will prey on little dogs. Small dog owners have much of a responsibility as large dog owners and you need to be prudent when visiting a dog park that doesn’t have a separate area for small/timid dogs. If you go to the park with your 8 pound Maltese, and all you see are large breeds in the park that day, I would be very careful about entering the dog park. Turn around and go away and come back another day. Small dogs need to establish that they exist so they will always precipitate something. This attitude can get them killed.

While people enjoy the company of toy breeds found at Star Yorkie Kennel CA in Los Angeles, they may become a bit of a nuisance if not trained like the big dogs. Training them is not an easy step, and the services of SYK may be sought. One of the reasons as to why it may be difficult to housebreak a Toy breed is that many of these little dogs rarely put their feet on the floor. Small dogs seem to find their way onto the furniture or in the arms of their owners resulting in their paws touching the floor infrequently. Just as crate training helps teach the dog the consequence of soiling its living space, the opposite is also true. If a dog can relieve itself on the floor and jump up onto the furniture, there is no negative consequence to the dog for eliminating on the floor. Dogs keep their crates clean because they recognize the area as living space. If a dog doesn't use the floor as living space then it becomes fair game for elimination. Also, many Toy breed owners tend to carry ...
