If you touch your dog around the ears or the nose he may feel hot. Just as with humans a fever will raise the overall temperature to combat infections from bacteria, viruses and ingested toxins, the same is true of dogs. In humans touching the skin will ascertain if the temperature is raised. However, a dog’s temperature is normally 3 degrees above that of a human: somewhere between 37.8°C (100°F) and 39.3°C (102.7°F). So Rover will naturally feel warm; but to a human touch how warm is warm? Your dog is not in a position to speak.

Crate training your dog or puppy is worth the time and effort. It can take days or weeks depending on the dog’s age, temperament and past experiences. Provide a crate throughout your dog’s lifetime; it is your dog’s private sanctuary. Always respect your dog’s right to crate privacy. Limit access while off leash until house rules are learned. Crates are plastic (often called “flight kennels”) or metal and collapsible. Different sizes are available. They should be just large enough for the dog to stand up and turn around.

The first thing you need to do in leash training your puppy is to get your little pup used to walking with you, and one really good and easy way to do this is to tie your puppy’s leash to your belt and walk around the room with it, everywhere you go in the room your puppy goes to. Once your puppy does this without a struggle then start walking around outside in the garden, also a good opportunity to do a bit of gardening as well with your puppy right by your side.

They are treated only as puppy making machines. Fake Poodle breeders are puppy mills in disguise.

Lots of people poke fun at Yorkshire Terriers in sweaters but in reality they help to keep the dog warm during the cold winter months. The dramatic change between the warmth of the house to the cold or bad weather outside is hard on a Yorkie’s body.

The cold can be very distracting for a dog that needs to use the potty and could make them want to run back inside. As soon as they make it back into the warmth of your home the urge to go will come right back and the pup will likely go on the floor. This transition is made much easier when the dog has a nice warm sweater on for extreme cold weather.

Some Yorkies will refuse to go out in bad weather unless they see you have a sweater for them to wear. This can be during the winter or even when it’s raining.
