| I need some help please !!!!!! This is kinda long but i will try and make it short..lol My daughter bought a yorkie when it was 8 weeks old. She tried and tried and never could it her house broken (pads) (or outside). The dog was 2 years old and still not trained and her husband was having a fit because of the dog going inside the house.. We (my husband and I) decided to buy her so my daughter could get her another dog (shishue) however you spell it..lol so we took the yorkie and had her about 3 weeks and guess what..PAD TRAINED..Than we let her go in the rest of the house to see if she would go to the pads and YES SHE DOES..i thought our problems was over and the dog was still in the family because my daughter had 2 (small kids) and they missed her, anyway now heres the problem.. Now that she has been in our family for about 6 weeks she decides to get testy with me and my husband at time..Didn't bother me to much because i have tough hands (sun conure and parrotlet) lol..but than she started getting jealous OF OUR MALTESE that we have had for 6 years....well that just don't fly with my husband.. Have any of you had this problem and if so how do you get it stopped..If we can't get this corrected than we are going to have to sell her no there way.. Thanks for all your help..this is the first yorkie we have had..always had maltese. I pray someone can help because i really want to keep her in the family... |

This is a perfect example of what usually happens when Yorkie puppies are taken from momma too early and not allowed to receive all the valuable training that momma teaches her litter.....baby also does not learn how to play well with others, like littermates.....like your other dog now......has not learned social skills, how to interact with other dogs, and not to bite on you (bite inhibition)....and the really sad thing is, until this baby gets behavioral modification, these issues will go with him thru life and thru owners. This information is essentially usless to you in your current situation, but perhaps someone else reading this, looking at puppies, will learn what happens when humans interfere with nature. You would probably do well to get help from a knowledgable trainer, like suggested above by Buster Brown. Have them come to your home so you can actually see what is being done and how they are doing it. Perhaps puppy classes....I dont remember how old you said the baby was....but it is not an easy, quick solution....good news is, pup seems smart and quickly picks up training if done properly, so you should see success! | |

| How long have you had her?? Both same sex? I assume the Maltese is larger? Sometimes it many take a month or so to get along. Just keep them separate when nobody is home. They will work it out. If the Maltese is larger I wouldn't worry to much maybe more submissive but not like the Yorkie is gonna chomp her head off. |

YT 1000 Club Member | My first question would be what gender is the maltese? Are they both fixed? My experience has been that 2 males or a male and female are the easier dogs to get along from the get go. I am not saying 2 females won't get along, because they can. Females tend to be more dominant and one of your dogs will be the dominant one. They just need to figure this out gently and without a dog fight. I have 2 male dogs, a 7 lb Yorkie I just got and an 80 lb setter we have had for over 3 years. The big dog is laid back and I know that the Yorkie is top dog in the house and they did not even have to figure it out when I brought in the Yorkie 7 weeks ago, as the big dog is just that way. As far as her being like that with you I would just keep correcting the behavior. Yelp when she nips at you so she knows it hurts. Good luck, I hope it all works out for you. I was lucky that my 2 guys got along from the moment I came in the door with the new Yorkie and the big dog wanted to see what I had in my arms. I think he thought it was a cat or a rat or something, but one growl is all I got out of the big dog and nothing after that. I still put the little dog up when I leave the house, the big dog is left loose as he has been for the last year or so unless I will be gone more than 2-3 hours, which is extremely rare and then I put him in his crate as well.
