| 6 months old - the terrible two's!? Hey everyone... So...I have a question. Do Yorkie puppies go through a period while they're growing up where they turn into little terrors? Becuase my sweet cuddly Winston seems to only want to run around my house and chew up everything, bite me, bark...what happened to my sweet boy?! He has more than enough toys, lots of love and attention, goes on good walks everyday...but it seems like he's this energizer bunny of trouble!! Is this a phase they go through or is my dog just nuts!? lol |

| It gets better I too am having that problem. Mine is 9 months and is a pain. He does stuff he knows not to do just to get into trouble. I asked the vet and she said that this is when they enter their adolescent years its like a teenager so be firm with them just like you would do when a teenager is getting out of line. It passes quicker though she said by the time he is a little over a year old he will be entering middle age and calm down as much a Yorkie does. |

| Well, though I have a 6 mo old girl... She has her days... Boys are naturally "bad"... no matter what the species... I think they are just doing what they know to do... 8)

| 5-9 months is supposed to be when pups are at their naughtiest. Malachi is a couple of days off 6 months and is a right cheeky monster at the moment |
