| aggressive yorkie my yorkie is also aggressive. I have had her 2 months, she is 5 years old. I have an eskie and sheltie also. She is aggressive with the sheltie, when we play with the sheltie or show the sheltie attention. This has been hard on everyone. CC (yorkie) came from a home where she was aggressive with the other female yorkie they had, but we hoped she was aggressive because the other was also a yorkie and female. Both of mine are males. All are fixed. She is not aggressive all the time, just maybe once every week or two, but has escalated from snapping to actually sinking her teeth in, and now the sheltie, who is very shy and timid, is fighting back. Am I fighting a losing battle? |

| I've just joined as this looks to be a place of encouragement and info. I have just gotten my first yorkie. Her name is " Mia". I've mainly had lrg. dogs-danes, mastiffs,shepards, which I find easy to train. I've only had one other small dog, a peke. I love my little girl, but what an attitude. When she's wound up and I'm holding her she growls and bites. The more I try to tell her NO and gently hold her mouth closed the madder she gets. I don't want to make her worse. All I know is my friend has a peke/lass and he is horrible because he wasn't trained and I can't have my girl biting people. I have smaller guys that don't keep their faces away. It seems as though this may be a phase, but I don't want to make her worse by trying to make her know it is wrong. Advise please |

| Puppy who bites A puppy ALWAYS wants to put everything into their mouth. Their mouth is their gateway to the world. Their teeth are sharp right now and they have not gone through teething. it will get worse. When she bites you, SQUEAL like a stuck pig! Sharp and loud. It is what her siblings would do. Give her LOTS of things to chew - bully sticks, Greenies. She should have a world of safe things to keep in her mouth. She will NOT understand a time out - dogs don't. It doesn't make sense to a dog. Time outs will not work. Squeal and then give her a safe toy to chew. AND the most important thing - exercise her until her legs fall off. She needs FAR FAR FAR more walking and playing than she seems to need. More often and further. Make her run and throw toys. A tired puppy is a happy puppy. Wear her out. Let her chew. Squeal if she puts any part of your skin in her mouth. She MUST NEVER put her mouth on you EVER. Hope this helps. |

| My 16wk BittyGirl I am so grateful to read that this biting/nipping behavior is a phase and that I am doing everything right and that my pup is normal. I will continue with what I am doing, try to be patient, and wait it out. I don't like the feeling of doing something wrong in her training. She has brought so much Joy into our home, and I pray we can work through this biting thing with out any blood being drawn... |
