I purchased the Don Sullivan training system and was VERY disappointed with the results. Save your money. You are better off contacting behavior experts at Pet Smart with your issues regarding biting. By the way, to prevent or discourage biting----buy severalchew toys and give the puppy something to chew on rather than allowing it to bite. Diversion is the best method.

See I feel the opposite. My husband and I have a German Shepard mix and we watched the videos and did the training with her. Some areas we had to repeat a few times but now Coco can be off leash in out back yard and doesn't make a mad dash to the door when the door bell rings. They do address biting in the video and all f your household members need to consistent with training the dog not to do that. For us this works.

Yes, it certainly could, but you must be willing to have the collar on a lot, and correct the pup with a good yank every time she nips. It may take days to weeks of yanks on the little darling before she finally gets it.

My opinion is that if your dog is already afraid of the groomer and bites, this product will only make your dog more afraid...I have a non aggressive dog, I used this to keep her from running and barking at passerby's... it really frightened her and made her act weird and avoid me for a couple days...

It depends, you may have to wait until your puppy gets older, especially if he/she is hyper. My rabbits react to the clicking and do the tricks I ask for based on knowing they will get a treat, which is the key. Best of luck.

No, it would be perfect. And IF it is too big, it comes with a divider that you can adjust to make it the perfect size for your Yorkie. I've used it with my Maltese since she was 2IB and now she's 5IB and she loves it because she gets to stretch out when she sleeps.

It should help correct UNwanted behavior. Depending on your dog you may need behavior traninning

Yes it will! My dog is very excitable but I have taught her to calm down with this device. However, no device works without you doing something along with it. It is a teaching aid that I use along with treats. What it does, is get your dog's attention!

Yes, highly recommended. My 19-year-od cat quickly adapted to this easy to use pupSTEP. No parts to add or tighten. Simply take from box and open and click to secure. You and your yorkie will loved it.

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

It will help. I had a German shepherd and worked well for her. Start off on a low setting and work up. I never had to get high on the voltage with her. I used it more for the barking purposes. If. You train and are consistent the puppy will learn.

No. I have a lab that weighs 70lbs. This is way too big for a yorkie. You might have luck with "stop it" spray. It's about $6 on Amazon and closer to $20 at petsmart. Great for bad behaviors like jumping and barking. Broke our dog from jumping almost immediately. No harm to the dog and smells nice. Good luck with your search.

I do think it will be too heavy for a Yorkie. I would go on line for perimeter fencing for tiny dogs. Also, call the company and they would be able to tell you if there is a product for your little bitty.

Sorry, I have not. My Yorkie is only 6 pounds, so, not much help here. Good luck.

Some dogs have a very dominant nature. Sometimes with this they will resist some of the training. Wearing gloves will help protect you from nipping and biting.

It might depend on the size of your dog. My yorkie didn't although I am not certain she even tried.

Yes!!!!! It totally works. I love this tool. I have a yorkiepoo and a chipoo and it's doing wonders for them.

It should help. My son is currently doing the same thing. I have to watch him like a hawk because he does it when he isn't actively drinking and gets bored. It's getting better now, because I remove him from the breast when he does it and tell him "no" when he bites. He doesn't like getting removed, so he doesn't bite. I hope that help. Good luck

This device does not cover or control the mouth of the dog, so I don't think it would prevent nipping. Instead it discourages the dog from pulling ahead on the leash.
