| 'Bout to send this boy packing!!! im at my limit with remmie, i didnt really want to rehome him at first, i mean he has small little problems that can be dealt with im sure, i just dont know how to do it. but my husband wnated a dog so i decided to find a home for remmie, found a nice lady in pa that wanted him but i called her back and informed her that my uncle was going to take him for his livin in girlfriend well remmie came back to day because this lady has really exspensive taste and her home is emmaculate, well i told them that he isnt fixed and will mark until he is. so just make him wear the belly bands, well whatever happened he came back b/c he marked in her house once, but that wasnt a problem to me i love remmie and wanted him but just know i have had it. i had the trash bag out while i was cleaning, i caught him in and jerked the food from him and he bit the crap out of me!!! my finger is bleeding and throbbing!!!!!!! then he countinued the snap at me. hes been fine for the last 3-4 hours. and i know he has a problem with the trash but he hasnt ever really done that before! and why is he going in the trash and acting like i dont feed him??? i free feed!! whats his problem!! i think im done!! i never thought i would surrender a yorkie but im thinking about it!!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | i think hes doing that because 1. he knows you dont want him 2. he was passed to someone new than back again 3. hes not neutered his hormones can cause aggression why dont u neuter him and see if it fixes the problem you should neuter him before rehomeing him anyway garbage is always better than dog food in there minds everything tastes like people food |

| i agree with 2 & 3 but i did want him the only reason i was rehoming him was because my husband wanted a dog of his own. and you arent supposed to have more than 3 dogs in the county i live in. i had founda lady that wanted him but i really wanted to be able to see and instead of sellng him i gave him to my uncle. i was all set this morning to make it work with all 4. right now im just really upset with him |

| Why don't you post him on here, so someone can get him...He is probably scared to death, not knowing what is going on...He might of snapped at you because he might have learned that somewhere else,

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | he really needs to be neutered before you can expect any changes and i think thats really unfair to him before getting him you should have discussed it with your husband since he wants a dog of his own i think a dog is for life not to replaced with a different one jmo |

| well he was only gone a day and a half, no other pets invovled. i have had him since he was 15 weeks old, he has never gone with out, but for a while he had some food agression i broke that, but he had never bit me before..and it should havent bothered him really because he knows my uncle and wasnt gone long at all, it probably felt more like i was on vacation again to him he was happy when he was there and he was happy when he came home this morning |

| They know when you don't want them, they can really sense your emotions...so I would say he is picking up on that...If you really don't want him anymore there is a for sale/or give away on YT, please please let some one give that baby a home...

| remmie is a year old, i dont think it is unfair to rehome him to a good home. especially to people i know. i do agree that he needs to be neutured. i got remmie with the intent of keeping him forever, but it wasnt fair to my husband that i have 3 yorkies and he cant have any dogs of his own. and i found that it was fair to rehome remmie to people i knew or a good home and let my husband get whatever he wanted. i work with a shelter and know the difference between doing it for the right reasons and doing it the for the wrong reasons. |

| i was happy to have remmie back this morning so there were not any negative waves going his way until he got in the trash and bit me. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | well i dont know what to tell you then to me its the wrong reason esp when u still havent neutered him and most likely with that and belly bands would fix the aggression and marking i really think u should have thought of that before getting him its unfair that hes passed around and now hes most likely gonna get another new home so u can get another dog its unfair when they didnt want him what about the next person ? not many people want a marking snappy 1 year old Male dog |

| Contact a Yorkie Rescue if you want to rehome him. They work hard to make sure they find homes where they will not be returned. Good luck.

| look i know that it is hard to rehome a dog that snaps and marks i screen people all the time that say they want to surrender a dog because it bit someone and i have to go into the same lines we cant not take or place a pet that shows any aggression. and give them tips or tell them to call a trained, sadly i dont have $100's to throw at a behavoirist right now im mad at remmie because he has no reason to behave this way he hasnt had to fend for his self for food. when i got remmie rehoming was not in my mind when i got him, my intentions were to keep remmie, yes i know he needs neuturing i think thats been stated several times already ( i am not trying to be sarcastic) and when i can do that or if he gets rehomed they can do it. he has not been jumping from home to home at all, he had one placement with a family memeber bascically over night |

| i wont turn remmie over to a rescue group, they have enough on there hands i was very angry after he bit me, and i believe i have every right to be. if/when i place remmie i will do the screening and keep him. i ve worked with a shelter since 1996 i know how to handle it. and what to look for, i should have been more cautious with giving him to family then a total stranger. |
