| 2 year old neutered male with new baby in the house... I have a 2 year old neutered yorkie... We had a new baby girl in November. He has always been SO great at not going potty in the house. When he started marking we decided to get him neutered... We never had a problem after that! Until now! Ever since the new baby came home he pees in the house CONSTANTLY! We let him outside and he will come in a pee, even when he has been outside for 30+ mins! He is also super aggressive. He tries to bite my husband and older daughter! I'm worried about him biting the baby, he has been awesome with her so far. But i'm worried once she is mobile that will change. My main concern right now is the peeing everywhere.. He is a totally different dog since we brought the baby home! Advice please!! |

| i'm not a yorkie expert, but it sounds to me like he feels threatened by the attention that the baby is getting... I know a lot of yorkie rescues won't give yorkies to homes with children under the age of 7. |

| Has he always been aggressive or just since the baby came ? If this is new then he is claiming the baby & feels he needs to protect her from your daughter & husband & this is not uncommon & could also explain the potty issue. If he's feeling protective then he will feel the need to mark territory to let others in HIS pack (husband & daughter) know that this is HIS territory & HIS new puppy (your baby ). It sounds like he doesn't know where he stands in the pack anymore & you need to reestablish who is ALPHA in the house. |
