My yorkie is 3 months 2 weeks old. I cant stop him from biting my fingers. for some reason he thinks my fingers are chew toys. He also barks at me if I'm lying down on the couch. Not a playful bark but more like "GRRR, I hate you, I'm mad" bark... i dont get it. So i get off the couch and sit on the floor next to him but he only barks at me more... If I tell him "NO", it makes him more aggressive and tries to eat my hands! I''ve tried all kinds of things... tapping his nose while saying "NO"... also pushing him away and saying "NO"... Giving a bone to redirect him... I just dont know what to do.

If I'm going in the balcony and I want him to "come"... i kneel and tell him "come here boy"... but he starts to bark at my hands like I'm attackinghim with my fingers... please someone.. help me... I dont know what to do... he's sooooo cute and I know he doesnt mean harm... I'm getting rally frustrated...

Also, how do I get him not to eat or tear up his pee pads.... he's about 98% potty trained.. about 2-3 accidents a week... (he misses his pads by 2 inches) Why does he miss his potty pads?? It only started about 2 weeks ago... before that he didnt tear up or miss his potty pad....

thanks!
