My granddaughter's Yorkie, Samantha Love, is almost 6 months old and we have had a hard time making her stop biting. She's just excited and playing, but we make her stop. Removing whatever part she's biting and saying a firm "no bite" is good and stop playing with her. I also say "Acckk" very sharply, sounds kind of like a sharp bark. That works well. She still begins to bite, but stops immediately. She's been with me and my two Bichons since Friday and it's funny how well she minds my female Bichon, Lacy. We woke up early this morning and Sammy wanted to romp around and play, while my two Bichons and I wanted to rest a while longer. I got up with her so she could go potty and then we went back to bed. I rubbed Sammy's tummy and snuggled her and kept telling her to lay down and be quiet, but she kept wanting to move around. Suddenly, Lacy sat up and growled very firmly and Sammy layed down and was quiet immediately. Lacy layed down again, too, and we rested for another 30 minutes or so. Lacy is very protective of Sammy and acts like her mom. Lacy keeps an eye on her and will let Sammy out of her crate if I don't watch her. Lacy is spayed, but she would have been a great mom. Sammy weighs 6.5 pounds now. She's about 50% potty trained, I'd say. It's hard to tell when she's at my house. She's been here several times, but it isn't home, of course, and she's not as relaxed and calm.
