| biting I am having a problem with Pebbles when she has something in her mouth that she is not supposed to be eating and I try to take it out of her mouth, she bites and attacks me. She even does the growling sounds. What do I do?She becomes vicious!

| You need to let her know ASAP that YOU are the alpha not her! You firmly let her know that whatever she has and you want, you get. Not the other way around. Be consistent.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Magic is the exact same way...it is like the devil comes out in her...but we have started telling her "be nice" and if that doesn't work we squirt her with a water bottle on the back of the neck and that will usually work...she still does it sometime but she is getting better...

| Ahia had the same problem when she was younger. I had to be firm with her. Give her one of those "you don't do that to me" thing! I sound like i was rough with her. rough is not the meaning i am sending firm is the word.

| i leared a new trick today by a lady who raised dogs. she said to put your thumb on the bottom of his mouth, close to the teeth, and push on it a little, and say no bite. it's uncomfortable for them, so they stop. Its already working for my yorkie!!!! and he's pretty bad with that!

| Saying "no bite" and squirting with water works really well with my Yorkie. He doesn't like being squirted with water at all. Now all I have to do is say "no bite" in a harsh tone and hold the squirt bottle in my hand. He is really getting the message. By the way, I tried all the other methods to keep him from biting...nothing worked until the squirt bottle. I don't mess with him when he is eating or chewing on his nylabone. But if he has something in his mouth that is not puppy approved, I am very stern with him and say "drop it!" If he doesn't drop it, then I get the squirt bottle out. You have to find out what works and be consistant with it. Good luck.

| thank you all for all your help. I will definitely try the squirt bottle because she was already in the hospital two weeks ago because of colitis. SO not, I am terrified when she puts something in her mouth that will hurt her in anyway. Thanks again

| If you would like me to send a page I have on bite inhibition training, pm me your e-mail address and I will send it along. It sounds like you have some alpha issues with this girl and you are going to have to nip this behavior in the bud, no pun intended. Yes, pack behavior is an excellent training tool, but the alpha in the pack will take food from any of the other members and if repulsed will force submission. You need to be the alpha, to give your pup the confidence that comes from trust. Being firm is not punishment. Aggressive behavior usually stems from fear and you do not want an anxious, fearful dog. She needs to feel that you are strong enough to protect her and keep her safe. You should be able to remove anything from her possesion at any time. |
