2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | E - nough is what I use . . it has more enfaces to it . When I say the E I change the tone of my voice to a deeper tone and than finish up with the "- nough" Works great and they all respond to it very well. Even when they are off leash... I use "far enough" and they come running back to me.

| We simply tell Shelly "no" firmly and offer him a toy instead at this point. Time consuming? Yes. Also, effective. He's getting it, slowly. Without fear or anxiety. |

YT Addict | I have an 11 week old and have raised four yorkies over the years. This pup is one of the most stubborn. My senior boy won't have anything to do with him. He is teething big time do I know why the behavior is happening but the teeth are out of control. Trys to nip toes, back if heels, fingers and will even go for your face. Time outs don't work, when I come back to get him he's right back at it. He gets his third shot Saturday and then in 7-10 days he can start going outside for walks. We play with him and toys to tire him, but he just gets more hyper and you can't come him down without putting him in his pen and just let him bark it out. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated I could use some good, sound advice. Thanks a loving yorkie mom. I don't prefer to use negativity or punishment, squirt bottles to scare him. I would rather try to change his reactions to a positive experience if possible. Last edited by valeriejsmyth; 07-24-2014 at 05:20 PM. |

He is very young so there is the chance that he may calm down after proper training and exercise. Sounds like your little guy is going to need to be exercised before training sessions at first so you will be able to get his attention. You don't want him worn out. Just get rid of some of the extra energy. There are some good tips from people with training experience throughout this thread. I hope you can find some that will help you with your pup. Some terriers are quite prone to being aggressive but usually you can direct that inborn tendency in the right direction with proper training and exercise. | |

YT Addict | Yeah mine is teething too, he's 13 weeks. All teeth, nipping at the heels. Input on socks and ug boots and now he can't get me. I'm not a target anymore. Hang in there it will pass. Just try to begin paying fetch, tech sit, down and get him focused elsewhere. |

| My Biggles is the same. He is extremely mouthy, and although it's been only during play I don't want him to keep this habit up. He also goes for the face? If he makes eye contact with you it's like an invite to smother your face. He mouths your nose and gives those half-lick half bites on ears as well. Unless he is tired (which is never, lol) he constantly wants to chew or nibble everything..When I say no or make a noise to stop, it only makes him more hyper... Any advice? |

| Levi rarely bites me when playing, but he bites my mom like ALL the time. She's starting to think that it's out of spite or something. XD

| It is not unusual for a puppy to bite during play but it should always be discouraged. Giving a sharp "NO!" and ending the play should be enough. If your pup is overly agitated a time out may be in order. Never hit or be rough as that can incite even more aggressive behavior. There have been some very good instruction about the subject posted here by people with a lot of experience with dogs. Gracie was a live wire when she was a puppy but not as bad as some of the circumstances I have seen posted here. If you have a very excitable puppy sometimes it is best not to let them get to the point where they will bite. Try to keep them calm and don't move your hands in front of them because that means play to them and as puppies play means using the mouth and teeth. Lots of exercise is always a good idea. If you can't go outside for a long brisk walk teaching the pup to play indoor fetch is great exercise as well as just running around the house or apartment. A tired puppy never bites. |
