| Ever since that guy has tormented (trust me, that's the correct word) chewie, she's been very vicious to any dog she sees. Growling, snarling, and barking. I actually am in the process as we speak of texting our trainer to get this taken care of. Last time he did it was about two weeks before we left (so in June) and that was the last straw. It's very upsetting as she was dog friendly before. she isn't like that to her little pack or dogs we know, and I'm not sure if she'd bite any of these dogs, but we won't take the chance right now. Oh, she's female. Obviously from this paragraph. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | le I cant believe Razzle will be nine soon. But he is not truly dog aggressive other than Magic taught him to really dislike this one dog that walks by daily. Magic teaches all our pups to dislike this dog - after all he is alpha - and yes I do believe in pack hierarchy - over my years of owning multiple dogs there is definitely a hierarchy. Razzle has never been aggressive at all to ppl. He is a very alert watch dog. He killed a rat a couple of wks ago - and proudly wanted to bring that kill to me! Yesterday early am he was after something - dont know rat, mouse, squirrel what ever I was out n about with my flashlight and could not get a good look - thankfully he missed it. He is a true to form Yorkie the way they were originally bred for.

This becomes worse at night, if he is woken from his sleep by outside noises he becomes aggressive. Last night he was disturbed and when I tried to reassure him he growled at me and wouldn't let me near him. I don't know his history but he can be snappy when fearful, any advice as to how to reassure him when he's aggressive. Thank you | |

| Does Emma (female) incite any fear? No. Is she aggressive with barking and alerting, yes. Is she a fan of other dogs, that's 50-50. She's a big mush ball once you're in the house and willing to give her all the attention. My Troy(RIP) was very laid back and couldn't care less about anything that was going on so there wasn't an aggressive bone in his body.

My Yorkie was caged outside in a shed for 9 mos of his life so he feared absolutely everything from the fridge coming on, doors opening, all electronic sounds, passing through small spaces, sudden sounds, moves, you name it, when I brought him home so know what you are dealing with. I began by getting him to trust me above everything else - never grabbed at him, all approaches involving touching were first instigated by him and were often merely acknowledged at first with a smile, then subtly rewarded(at first - later like a party), then simple, upbeat, fun obedience training gave him something to focus on, work at, teamwork. You must make it fun, using only upbeat, non-militant-type commands, keep him confident, happy and motivated during the training. Tibbe grew more trusting from the fun obedience training we did together than anything else we did but that was after the first 6 weeks of learning to trust me, knowing I'd never force him to do anything, never ever punish him but only rewarded things he did I approved of with base of tail scratching, back rubbing/scratching, treats and big smiles, upbeat words like 'you little WINNER, you!' or 'what a SMART boy you are!". Using upbeat words and smiles gives your persona a whole different, positive mien and the dog reads that like a book. Got to go now but back later. After a while, he'll be autoconditioned to automatically do what you ask because he'll see it as a big win for him every time. Tibbe still gets a big verbal reward, smiles and kibble treat for going potty outside every single time! Patience and love and you two can get there!
