| Nipping at Heels Bentley is nearly 9 months old and he has just started nipping at peoples heels, he also nips at my other dogs legs. I don't now if this is a friendly thing or an aggression thing right now. The other day my hubby came in and my other dog gets so excited so she was crying and barking and Bentley starts barking and then starts nipping at the back of my hubbies pants. Does anyone know how I can stop this and is this a yorkie trait? |

| Yes, unfortunately, I think it's a Yorkie AND a puppy trait. Bentley is most likely just trying to be playful. I would suggest clapping your hands loudly and saying "no" in a stern voice, anything to distract him and focus his attention. Sometimes they're really stubborn (like mine) and won't respond to "no" so we had to fill an aluminum can with pennies and shake it. He HATES that!
