| Help new Yorkie mom with biting I have a 9 week old Yorkie and she LOVES to bite toes, ankles and pull the bottoms of pants legs. I realize that she is a puppy, it's just tough to walk with a 2 lb dog attached to your pants leg! I was reading a thread and it mentioned doing something with a can to stop the biting. I would like to know what that is if anyone can help. |

| Hi there and to YT! IMO, your baby is only 9 wks and that's how she plays right now and it'll be that way for a while. When Meka would do it at that age, I'd play with her until her bite was too hard..and I let her no by saying "ouch". And she would soften her bite, but if she didnt, I'd make my hand into a fist and say "no" (easier to bite fingers, than a fist) and she would stop. They can understand what you want from them if you teach them. Also, it might help to get her some chew toys to keep her busy Hope this helps...
