| Mochi is better now and boy is he baaaad :) I shouldn't be happy to report that a dog is marking all over my house and barking at my boyfriend and walking all over my other dogs and my furniture..but if any of you remember my story with saving Mochi, the yorkie from the dirty shelter who was really abused and sick with pneumonia..you'd know why I was glad. Being naughty aka normal for an untrained no manners dog of two years..means he's feeling way better! I'm glad for him. Now I get to try and teach him manners Whenever I tell him bad dog when he does things like pee the house or try and run out the front door or steals the other dogs food etc he always gets so scared he pees all over himself...I am assuming this is from being abused before..any ideas on how to get him to be a good boy without scarring the pee pee out of him?? Also he likes to bark at my boyfriend and my other dogs...but his bark isn't even a bark its this weird raspy noise and that's all...any idea what might have caused this? just to amuse here is a list of his bad habits: marking the house in places I dont find until I slip in them snapping and biting hands when feeding treats stealing the other dogs food stealing all the toys in the house eating everything and anything including his medicine bottles barking or more like rasping at my boyfriend smacking my little girl yorkie around walking all over the furniture aka glass tables kitchen tables etc jumping over the dog gates and pooping all over the house eating poop and running out the garage door when we get home All that aside Mochi is much better...and just needs some training...if my boyfriend doesnt go insane from coming home to torn up pee-peed up house every day that is...

| Your post made me laugh, Hopefully you can get Mochi trained after you did such a great thing and rescued them. |

| You have your hands full huh? Poor guy never had any training so he thinks it's a free for all. On the bright side these dogs pick up quickly. I would keep him gated in an area until he is trained. Maybe he barked so bad before you got him he lost his voice! It sounds like you have a great personality and you certainly know what your doing so given time you will wind up with a very loving trained new pet. Thank you for rescueing him. In time he will love you for it. |

| You're so sweet and so understanding! You are JUST what little Mochi needs . I'm sure he'll come around, but it might take some time. I'd just keep in mind that all dogs just want to make their master happy, so you just have to show him when he does the good things that he's such a good boy. And be consistent. Geeze..listen to me, LOL. Like you can't figure that out. I think you're doing a great job with him! Bless you and him too. Hope your bf has as good a personality as you do!

| I agree, I would xpen him or gate him in a small area where he can't get into trouble. Make sure he has all the amenities, toys, bed, etc. In the meantime, I would ignore all the bad behavior. Don't bring them up at all. Carry treats with you at all times. When he does some thing good, immediately say good-boy and treat him. (Clicker training works really good with this). I would definitely keep him tethered to you, to avoid potty mistakes and to keep him off the furniture. This would be temporary, but may last a few months, until he gets the hang of potty training and has learned some manners. I think I would start training him on the basics, like, sit, down, stay. That way, you can utilize these commands when you are trying to train him on other things, like not run out the door, not terrorize the other animals, etc. Take him on long walks too, so that he will empty out his bladder and marking in the house will be more controlable. He may have been de-barked and that is why he only barks in a raspy whispery way. (Poor thing). Getting him back to health was a great thing you did. And taking him in was even better. So keep up the good work. He is older and will learn quickly what your expectations are. Just be consistent like someone else said.

| I'm glad he is better. I wish you all the best. He'll be a hand full, but you knew that when you brought him home. Keep us updated.
