on him and know what he likes and dosen't but he was under stress at the
time so I am not taking that too seriously but this kind of bite you are smart
to get someone to help you with it. I'm just not sure I would use this method.
How do you hurt a Yorkie, they are so small and smart I might add. There
must be another way. What about a soft muzzle when your around people and children until you can get a grib on the problem.
Good post and I agree - I would never have a collar on a yorkie first of all - and never yank on it - you could cause some serious damage - To start - try a harness so you don't have anything on the neck - Sounds like ya'll need THE DOG WHISPERER - Have you ever watched the show ? He has some good techniques on how to stop agression with strangers.

My Chanel is a little terror if someone comes to the house - she's fine in public but when it comes to the house I'm not thrilled with her - in her defence - since my husband got sick - she hardly sees anyone cause I always go to them now so it's really not her fault she feels so protective. I need to work on that just like you need to work on your little one
