Creating A Living Space For Your Yorkshire Terrier Puppy

The Yorkshire Terrier breed is called the toy dog breed for a reason they are usually no heavier than 7 pounds and approximately 10 –12 inches in their first year. Therefore you must prepare with a lot of care and consideration the space for your Yorkshire Terrier puppy if you want him or her to be safe, healthy and happy.

Here are a few suggestions, which I hope will help you create the right atmosphere and space for your new pet.

A Place Of His Or Her Own

It is important you create a space, which is dedicated only to your puppy such as a basket, bed, cage or pillow because he or she will need his own space and place to sleep and recharge and that must not be the sofa, your or your children’s bed or a public place where the puppy may be disturbed if you need to access it for your own use.

Yorkshire Terrier puppies are small and therefore should not be let and extremely fragile when especially when they are pups therefore you must avoid leaving them in the hands of small children to play with as they may easily get hurt by accident. Yorkshire Terrier also shed a lot of hair and that can be avoided by creating his or her own place and regular grooming.

The Litter Box

Because the Yorkshire Terrier breed is small you can have a litter box in the house just like those available for cats especially if you don’t have the time to take him or her out everyday couple of times. However, the litter box must be obtained before you acquire the puppy so, he or she is trained from the very first day and not have to be re-trained, which is almost like changing a habit and that is always harder to achieve.

The Feeding Bowl

This is yet another items you must obtain before you bring the puppy home in order to train him or her to eat out of the dedicated bowl for this purpose. Yorkshire Terrier puppies are known for having a mind of their own and using it therefore avoid letting them eat directly from the table you eat unless you want them to keep doing so in the future as well.

Yorkshire Terrier puppies learn quickly and well if you take the time to teach them and also reward them for being obedient and learning fast. However, when treating your Yorkie remember that they are small, even if they don’t act like it and a table spoon snack is usually a good size treat unless you want to ruin their next meal and in the long run their health.

Grooming The Yorkshire Terrier Puppy

The Yorkshire Terrier puppies are born black in color but they will change gradually as they mature; their hair grows fast and long and you will need to groom him or her regularly ensuring that you keep the hair out of his or her eyes with the help of a hair band or bow. The hair must also be kept out of his or her ears, which can be checked and done when you visit the veterinary.

It usually helps greatly when a Yorkshire Terrier has his or her dedicated place where they will use it for sleeping and relaxing and that means there will be the largest deposit of hair. Of course they are also very affectionate and will love to nestle in your lap but if you groom him or her just before he or she climbs in your lap you should be safe.

To stock your living space, you should certainly go shopping for Yorkshire Terrier puppy supplies.
