    • DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE A HUMAN!!!! TREAT HIM LIKE A DOG. This is the biggest mistake people make when getting toy or small breeds. Then they are sorry later when their dog acts like a complete jackass and bites people when they try coming near you or the couch.

    • Make sure you are using the right housebreaking techniques. Play with his/her feet every day and at four months after the final rabies and distemper vaccines, set up a grooming appointment for your puppy.Yorkies need proper grooming and should be maintained every 6 - 8 weeks. The earlier you start with the grooming process, the less afraid and stressed your baby will be. Interview groomers in your area and find a groomer you can trust..ask you vet if he recommends anyone specifically.I mentioned playing with the feet because sometimes Yorkies do not like their nails being cut. Also even though he/she might not have a lot of hair, invest in a good slicker brush and comb to keep you dog mat free.

    • Provided you have done everything you need to BEFORE buying your puppy there shouldnt be anything else you need to do.Your parents didnt bring you home and then wonder if they should buy diapers.You need to discover now as much as you can about what she is as a dog and what her needs are.Is your home puppy proof? Are you aware of how to potty train her? Are you aware of the needs of a small dog especially one as small and delicate as a yorkie?Do you know where to go if she has a serious problem in the middle of the night or the weekend?Please dont take any of this lightly as it is the dog who will suffer most if you are unprepared to do what it needed to train and socialize the puppy properly.Do some research now. Please.

    • Vet, microchip shots etc.Get a tag, dogbed, water and food containers, crate if you're going to crate train the pup, get it a leash and collar, tick and flea products (remember to check when the pup os boig enough to use them), dewormers, remember to doggy-proof your house, also get loads of toys.
