| Yorkie and pitbull Biting each other Help ! I got a female pit a few weeks ago. She is now 3 months old and my yorkie which is also a female is 9 months old. The female pit is always trying to bite the yorkie i dont know if its play biting or the pit trying to inflict pain. My yorkie trys to either run away. Growl at the pit or bite the pit back. So should i keep hitting my pit and telling her no. Or let this continue because like i said i dont know if its play fighting they both go at it. |

| Rehome the pit now. Whether it's playing or for real, your Yorkie will suffer and possibly be killed.

| Well the pit is going to be an outside dog in a couple of months. Its inside for the time being because we live in an apartment. And i dont like the idea of rehoming. They sleep good together. And my yorkie overpowers the pit. At the moment i keep telling my pit no to not bite her. She also bites my other yorkie but hes a 17 lb yorkie she aint going to do much to him. Im guessing its due to teething |

| Welcome to YT! Maybe separate them when the biting starts.

| they are playing, that's what puppies do....however; you must always interrupt and say sternly, loudly...NO BITE....it should never be happening if your monitoring them and when your not separate them...train your pets, its the solution. Outside dog? why?

| Always supervise when they are together. If someone is not there to watch them together, separate them. It's just what's best. While supervising, if they start to bite each other, correct them with "No bite" and then give a chew toy and say "good girl". Don't let the pit bite (therefore you can't let the yorkie bite or it would not make sense to them). Even if playing a bite that slips or hits the wrong spot on a small yorkie could be fatal.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I wouldn't take the chance of what could happen. I would separate them and not let them play together at all. Even with the 17 pound yorkie. Why take the chance of the pit hurting or accidentally killing one of the yorkies. I would just keep them separate if you want to keep them all. Not picking on the pit at all. Just big dog little dogs should not ruff play. Little dogs don't have a chance and they think they do they usually will not back down

| I have a video of them playing with each other. Ill post and let you all decide if its really playful. But for the pit being an outside dog, when it becomes full grown i dont want it to destroy anything inside the house. The only inside dogs i have are two yorkies |

| Never hit a dog-let alone a pit. Pits should not be trained the same as other dogs they require specialty training-period. Two pups of inmatched breeds are not a good idea. Furthmore both breeds have prey drive chase instinct as they are both terriers-the pit will always win. Either get immediate specialty trainer to come to your home and not only train but set up a coexisting environment or you need to consider rehoming. Newer training methods show positive preliminary results-the method is to not give pits chews-ever-they will often unpurposefully begin to chew in play on an undesirable object...as in your yorkie. Prey drive recall obediance is critical. Always separated while unattended.

| Wait...an outside dog? Why have a dog if it's not going to be treated properly?

| Hitting a dog is never ok pit or not and it will train the pit to be afraid of hands and people and this is not what you want in a very powerful dog. You do need to nip this in the butt now because the puppy could be thinking he is just playing and bite your yorkie to hard and really hurt them. Also please do not put a dog outside to stay out there forever this is not right and I do not agree with it. Dogs need human interaction and pit bulls need training other wise they will end up being one of those stories you read about.
