| My new puppy max, is a hand full !! As some of you may know by my post on "pictures" that I now have a new member in the family, Max, my second yorkie. Well I have to say this lil 9 week old is quite the brat. He only has 2 days home, and he's breaking pads, biting noses, faces, and hands. I bought him quite a lot of busy teething toys like I did with mia when she was a puppy. He cries non stop when he's dirty (poop) (so cute btw lol). Im trying to teach him some commands but he's quite the jumper for such a small thing. I currently have him on a play pen till mia learns to socialized adequately with Max. Now, I say I rescued Mia from a "Want to be breeder" at 5 1/2 weeks old, and she's all grown up into a perfectly healthy 1yr old now. Since she was my first pup (home dog) she never really went outside much let alone socialize with other dogs, which unfortunately developed a fear against other animals. I did start taking her out more often when I noticed a few months back, and now she does bark at them but once they get close she shivers in fear. I was already planning on having 2-3 pups at home because 1. well I love dogs duh and 2. I have no kids yet so I needed her to be socialized. I read a few articles on similar of Mia's case and so I followed such instructions: 1- when the Max provokes mia move him not her out of the zone, showing mia that I'm in control not Max. 2- keep Max in Playpen when its under no supervision. 3- every time mia gets close to Max, always praise her. 4- always show mia love at every moment when with Max , assuring her I still love her. ETC ETC For two days, I have to say Mia has been wonderful. She gets close to Max sniffing him at least 8 times a day around the pen or even when out on the floor. Last night she even tried to cover him with the sheets when he was on my bed sleeping. (tooooo cute) My problem is, how do I train such a brat. I never really dealt with this with mia given her age and he likes to provoke her a lot with his bratty self. how do I train such a small pup with such personality??? |

| He's just a baby, when I had older dogs and a new puppy my older ones would stay on the sofa, away from baby jaws, when the baby was able to jump on the sofa life as my older ones knew it was over, they worked it out. I let my puppies be puppies, my older girls were very sweet girls, very well socialized with ppl and all animals. Let Mia go to Max on her terms and yes praise like crazy, feed Mia first, if you go out, when you come home, greet Mia first, playing withtoys, give Mia toy first. Mia being a year old should not be a problem with them getting along, all my babies were 3 years apart. Enjoy that crazy little Max, they grow so fast.

| It's always hard for the older ones to handle all that puppy energy. Soon he will be fully vaccinated and then I suggest you walk walk and burn that energy off. When you start walking them as a team, I am sure they will bond. My females are never very happy if I bring in a female puppy, but they all run to coddle a little male. |
