What you little boy is doing if guarding his bone. Your smart to get a grip on
this because it can become a big problem.
Take the bone away for awhile. Then sit on the floor and hold the bone with
one hand while he tries to grab it with his mouth. Tell him he's a good boy
but don't release the bone yet. Pet him make him feel your not going to
take it away. Work on this for awhile then release it to him and make him
bring it to you. If this does not work after a couple of days take the bone
away! This is not cute and your smart to realize it now.
I wanted to pull Buddys ears off the first time he did this to me around
1 yr old I think. He got worse before he got better. I threw more than
one toy in the garbage from being totally pissed at him and his nastiness
out of no where. I have worked on this for a couple of years and he has
gotten to where it's not a problem anymore. However, there are times he
will still pull this bull with me and I will get the bone, toy or whatever and take it away for days at a time. You have to be the boss.
Don't yell, that does no good. Be firm in your tone and let him know your
the boss and his behavior is unacceptable.
Buddy is a bigger Yorkie and believe me he scared the daylights out of
me more than once with his aggressivness. All I have given him is
hugs, love and spoiled him rotten so I know how you feel. Buddy is a loving
Yorkie and good with people and kids so I just don't understand the
problem at all or why it even begun. It just did. Good luck.
Also when we go to bed I don't allow any toys in the bedroom at night.
One night I got up and he jumped off the bed and ran under it and growled
at me to protect the damn toy under the bed! I was so pissed off I got him out of the bedroom with the broom and threw the toy in the garbage.
Then made him sleep in the kitchen all night. Who needs this aggravation
from a pet when all you do it love it. I will never understand it I just keep
trying to be ahead of it.
