How Much Does It Cost to Adopt a Teacup Yorkie in Oregon?The adoption cost for a teacup Yorkie in Oregon ranges between $200 and $450, depending on the age of the teacup Yorkie, your location within the state, and the pricing policy of the shelter/rescue. However, despite their small size, note that teacup Yorkies can be fairly expensive to own, especially if you take them to professional grooming often to give them haircuts. |
How Should I Train a Teacup Yorkie?Teacup Yorkies are quite sensitive dogs that don’t do well in training if you get pushy. The same applies to repetitive training sessions that are dragged on unnecessarily long. When training a teacup Yorkie, keeping sessions short and full of rewards (they are mostly food-motivated, but some may prefer playtime over treats) is the quickest way to get the most out of their trainability. Even though teacup Yorkies are small, they are extremely agile and athletic dogs that can do much more than they appear. If your teacup Yorkie doesn’t have a background in training, start with our Dog Tricks for Beginners Course and gradually move your way up to more impressive tricks or commands – you will also find video lessons for these on our courses page as well. |

When you know enough about the dog, such as their individual quirks, energy levels, and overall temperament, you will know whether or not there’s a match.
