| Agressive behavior I am a new owner of a Male Yorkshire Terrier. I have had him just shy of a week. He has been doing great with potty training, eatting and bonding. Yesterday however I became a bit concerned when he growled and nipped at myself and one other person. Is this common in puppy behavior? Is this something that should concern me? Any suggestions on how to prevent this action? |

| His is 8 weeks. After reading posts I fear that he is too young to be away from his mom and that maybe this is the cause of his actions. The 1st time his snipped I simply removed him from the situation because there was another dog around and I thought maybe he felt threatend, however I picked him up last night after taking him out for his potty time and he growled and snipped at me. When he snipped at me I sternly looked at him and said "NO BITE". It took him a good half hour to calm down and be able to sit with me. We do not play rough with him but are very guilty of treating him like a baby. |
