How do you get them to sit still? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My 16week old doesn't want to be still at all, unless he wants to.

I am trying to teach him to sit, but he just gets soooo excited when he knows I have treats.

How do you do it?

Wait till he's tired then try?

He's a Yorkie ... you GLUE HIS FEET TO THE FLOOR!

Seriously, you just have to keep trying. These little guys are bundles of energy. My guy is hurtling toward 11 and sometimes he still is a regular little wild man.

He'll calm down -- in 7 years or so.

The funny part is, when I give Zeus (5yr) a treat, Augie (16week) takes it out of his mouth. So I have to give Zeus another one. But Zeus likes to prance around the couch several several times, to show off his prize, but Augie can't wait that long and he starts to chase him to get the treat. It's tiring work chasing after that little one
