Positive Emotional Benefits of Owning a Yorkshire Terrier
It is nice to understand that our pets can influence how we feel about ourselves in a
positive manner. There are many great emotional benefits of owning a dog.
Your new Yorkshire Terrier puppy may look adorable and act so cute.
The emotional bond that develops between a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy and their owner may develop quickly. However, as time goes by, all the experiences that you share with your dog help to strengthen the bond.
Each family member usually develops a special emotional attachment with their Yorkshire Terrier around the time when your puppy is about one year old or more. Sometimes, children even turn to their pets for comfort if a family member happens to leave the family or becomes ill. Adults that may have lost a loved one may feel comfort and less lonely if they have a pet. They may feel happy to have a special pet to share their life with. A Yorkshire Terrier can be a nice companion.
People that live all alone may feel a little isolated. If they decide to choose a dog or cat and they are physically able to take care of their pet, it may help make them feel they are needed.
Often times, dogs can help us focus our attention away from our worries. When we feel sad or stressed just spending a little time with our friendly dog or cat may actually brighten our day.
Our daily lives may include many responsibilities, whether at work or at home. Your Yorkshire Terrier may happen to do some cute and funny things, which may help you to relax and laugh a little.
When we come home from a frustrating work day it can be so nice to be greeted by our family dog, with their big beautiful eyes and their tail wagging because they are so happy to see us. It is wonderful that our pets can accept us just as we are and we can be ourselves when we are around them. Our pets don't care if we are disabled, old or young, rich or poor. Dogs and cats can provide great companionship.
Dogs can add some consistency and routine to our lives and give us something positive to look forward to every day. Many people may come and go in our lives, but our dogs are usually with us for their lifetime.
Your Yorkshire Terrier can help to keep you active by getting more exercise, like when you are taking your dog for a nice walk and getting fresh air and sunshine. It may be nice to play Frisbee outside with him. The responsibilities of caring for a dog, such as daily feedings, grooming and playtime will help to keep you both active.
The Yorkshire Terrier may have great affection for all the family members. Each family member may also play an important role for your dog. The man in the house may be the one that usually takes the dog outside for his walks and plays fetch outside with him in the backyard. The woman in the house may be the one that routinely gives the dog his meals and lots of attention. If there are any children in the family they may offer the Yorkshire Terrier a lot of hugs and fun playtime together.
The dog appreciates the family interaction and affection. Your Yorkshire Terrier has probably established great trust in the family. As a proud pet owner you will be able to recognize the maturity in your dog. As time goes by, you will learn the favorite things that your dog likes, such as his strengths, weaknesses, and any fears he may have at times.
The human-animal emotional bond between an owner and their dog is one of trust, affection, and love. Yorkshire Terriers enjoy being part of the family and a loyal dog can be a best friend. If we love them, they usually show us unconditional love in return!

Information on Careers for People Who Enjoy Working with Animals
Did you ever happen to think about having a career in which you would be able to work with dogs or other animals? A pet sitter is an animal related career option. Sometimes dog owners may have to leave their home temporarily for a few days or more and they are unable to bring their dog with them, so they may hire a professional pet sitter. They usually look for a reputable pet sitter that is honest, reliable and knowledgeable about dog care in general.
The pet owner may carefully prepare a list of the duties and responsibilities that they would like the pet sitter to fulfill while they are away. This is an ideal time for the owner to write down any important information about their pet, such as any medical problems, special requirements (like any necessary medications prescribed by their veterinarian for their pet or special diet). They should write down their veterinarian's phone number in case of an emergency. They will want to definitely include the phone number and the place where they can be reached.
The pet owner will want to talk about what specific food to feed their pet and how often to feed their pet. They may want to explain where they routinely walk their dog and how often their dog needs to be walked. The pet owner will want to know their pet will be cared for in a safe and comfortable manner while they are away.
Another option that involves working directly with dogs is a job working in a doggy daycare. Doggy daycare is an available option for dog care if dog owners just need supervised care for a few hours a day, or during certain occasions. Sometimes dogs just need some additional companionship. Doggy daycare should be a safe place, fully supervised by trained staff members. It is a place where dogs can play with other dogs that match their similar temperament.
There may be safe and appropriate dog toys and comfortable dog beds for napping. Most doggy daycares have an outdoor area for exercise. You may wish to read the following article: Doggie Day Care? Really? The staff should be trained to understand and appropriately respond to dog behavior and interactions.
There should be enough humans around to give each dog nice attention and positive reinforcement. Doggy daycare should be secure and safe. All dogs in doggy daycare usually need to meet minimum health requirements. Dogs must have their current vaccinations and be free of infectious diseases. The dogs may be evaluated to make sure their temperament is fine for the daycare environment.
A dog groomer is another career option for people who enjoy working with dogs and have patience. If you think you may be interested in this line of work, you may wish to visit and talk with a professional dog groomer in your area.
Another job for people who like to work with pets is to work in a pet shop. You could also decide to volunteer or work in an animal shelter.
A professional dog trainer is another career option for people who enjoy working with dogs. I recently read there is an increased demand for dog trainers. There are many kinds of professional dog trainers. Dog trainers understand how dogs learn and they may help dog owners correct their pet's specific behavior problems. You may wish to read Why Become a Dog Trainer?: Careers in Dog Training Offer a Variety of Opportunities.
If you feel you have the interest and patience to become a dog trainer, you can talk to other professional dog trainers in your local area for more information. There are dog training schools as well as some online dog training courses. A certified dog trainer may decide to start their own dog training business. They may offer dog training classes or work individually with an owner and their dog. You may wish to check out the following:

Are You Thinking About Getting a New Yorkshire Terrier Puppy or an Adult Yorkshire Terrier?

You may be trying to decide if you want a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy or adult dog. Maybe you have been thinking about getting a dog for quite awhile, but you finally decided that you now have the required amount of time, necessary patience, and financial resources to get a Yorkshire Terrier.
When choosing a Yorkshire Terrier it is helpful to think of the life-long commitment to your future loyal canine companion.
Listed below are some comparisons between choosing a Yorkshire Terrier puppy or a Yorkshire Terrier adult dog.
Yorkshire Terrier Puppies:
Usually look very adorable
For the first few months of their lives, Yorkshire Terrier puppies usually need to be supervised and trained, including house training (which can take some time).
Puppies can whine, bark, cry and chew.
Sometimes puppies don't sleep through the night very easily.
With a Yorkshire Terrier puppy you can try to train him into the dog that you would like him to be when he grows up. You may have more influence in helping to develop his personality.
Adult Yorkshire Terrier Dog:
May be more clam
May already having more training in place
An adult Yorkshire Terrier may have developed his own personality at this point.
It is your personal choice as to whether you decide to get a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy or an adult Yorkshire Terrier. It is important to understand that it is very possible for an adult Yorkshire Terrier to bond with his new family just as easily as a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy would!
