I've had other dogs before our Bailey entered our lives 5 years ago. The Border Collie/Belgian Shepherd I used to have loved teething on a large weight bar. I would think this might be over kill for a Yorkie though. We were lucky with Bailey. Having said that I took a sock and put a knot on it and he would bite that and we played a pulling toy. I was hopeful this would stop him from taking other socks (of ours) and it worked. He still likes to play this game with his own knotted sock. As well, I use a very thick leather glove and he can bite it as hard as he likes, w/out any feeling of pain on my end. These have all worked well. Hope that you find that something that will work for you. Any updates?
