I am having problems training my 5 mos. old yorkie. She is forever awake, except at times during the day. Last night she was whining and barking at nothing. I know I have to practice patience.
This morning I stepped into her doo doo. My aunt says I shouldve thought twice before getting a dog. There is no yard for her here. I have yet to walk her and maybe deplete her energy at the park. I will do that today and everyday that I have a day off. I gave her a bath yesterday, she fought at first then she calmed down. I will give her one every saturday. I cleaned the mess she made on the carpet, I think I made a white spot on it. A lot of the carpet is ruined but what the heck. I wanted a dog. Maybe she'll calme down later on. She becomes very snappish at times, she loves to bite and once made a serious cut on my finger. I tell her "no bite" and tap her on the head. I have good days and bad days with her. I still love her though. As you know, my first dog was a tiny maltese puppy. Vet said she died of kidney or other symptoms. I will take it a day at a time. I bought a book on yorkies called "Yorkies for dummies". She ripped a page out of that. Sometimes I feel like I should call the "dog whisperer", Cesar Millan. lol
