 Oliver ATTACKS me!!
I have a male yorkie who is 11 mos. Whenever myself or my husband go to pick him up (he is usually behind a chair hiding) at night to crate him, he goes ballistic on us and literally attacks us. He is really good when I touch his own food, he doesn't attack. But if I give him a treat/chewy bone, he frantically searches for a hiding spot, then he guards it and attacks me every time I walk even close by the spot he hid it. This has been going on for months now.
This last week we have had my sisters' two cats (they all get along for the most part) with us temporarily and we put the cat food out for them. Well, he will start eating their food and so I take it and put it higher up so he can't get at it but as I take it away.....he attacks me!!! Also, he does this attacking when he gets into something he should not be into, E.g...tissues, q-tips, garbage or anything on the floor that he finds that could be dangerous to him, and I try to take it away from him. He COMPLETELY FREAKS......I mean vicious! Then 2 minutes later he is fine and kissing us. My husband and I are thinking of having children and I want to break him of this nasty habit early on. Anyone gone through this??? |
