| Jealousy Hi! I have been having issues lately with Lexi getting unbelievably jealous of my son (who is 10) and my bunny. If I so much as hug them- she FREAKS!! Last night my son went to give me a goodnight kiss, and she actually growled and snapped at him. I give her a ton of attention(yes- she IS spoiled rotten- that may be part of the problem!!) I love her to death but need to resolve this. Do Yorkies tend to attach themselves to just one person? Is this normal? Any suggestions on how to nip this behavior? Thanks!!!!

It sounds like your yorkie is very over protective of you if he was going to nip at your son! Is your son mean to him that you know of? Maybe your son needs to bond with him, let your son take him out on walks, give him treats, brush him, etc... My Kloey is MY dog, but she will sit on my kids lap and my hubby's, but if I'm in the room she is with me. When we went to pick Kloey up I was the first one to hold her, I held her for 3 hours in the car to bring her home, so we bonded imediently. | |

My son is VERY gentle and loving with her. It is only my son and I at our house. He has been involved with her since she was a baby. Granted, I do the majority of feeding and taking care of her, but he plays with her a lot as well. I am just at a loss on how to stop this. I am going to try and have him feed her, and maybe brush her. Hopefully she can take the hint and start being the nice girl I know she can be!!! Thanks for your thoughts- I appreciate it!!

| yorkies over bond sometimes . she needs to know your top dog then your son then her as at the mo she thinks shes before your son. when she growls at your son put her on floor and dont talk to her dont even look at her and sit with your son, after a few mins if shes stopped growling make a fuss of her pick her up then every time after that that she growls put her down and do the same she will soon learn that mummy takes more notice of her when shes nice |
