I have two yorkies one is 2 and a 5 mo old-and i'm just pulling my hair out. the new one is extremly headstrong and I feel awful b/c my older one is just so sad. we've been trying since december and they just dont get along-i have to still put ALL toys away or they fight and my older one has little puppy bites on her-she will just sit there and then eventually attack-after a while... she is so submissive, but the puppy thinks she's playing and she's not-she looks at me to save her and i've been told to stay out of it, so i have been. I just wonder how long is long enough you know? everyone says give it time... I've had the puppy in pup school training since 8weeks, she's smart, she can sit, down, and come she knows her name. she just doesnt really care to read my other dog's boundaries at all-guess that's puppy behavior. I get so tired of listening to them argue, so I end up separating them and i'm just afraid it's going to affect the little one
-i dont want her personality to be jaded b/c my older dog is kind of a hag-? and not playful like most other dogs----is that possible? I just feel extremely stressed out and guilty and it makes me look at the puppy a little differently when she is always harrasing the other dog and I'm sure my older dog asks for it by not stepping up and defending her space effectively, but-what do you do?
I feel like putting an ad out almost everyday, then i get over it and then i feel guilty and like a failure -i just dont know what to do, i dont want this to continue-but i hate to give up..... I took a life into my hands.
