 at the end of my rope
Hi,
this is my first post and I am hoping to get some advice from all the yorkie lovers out there. we have a new addition to our home, an 11-week old yorkie puppy, and although we love her dearly we are finding her very difficult to handle. We have seen all the "dog whisperer" shows and read every Yorkie book we can find but our puppy is very aggressive and even vicious at times. When she demonstrates this behavior we remove her from play, we have tried using a water bottle, a noisy can, positive reinforcement....you name it we have done it. Still no change. What I want to know is whether anyone else has had a yorkie with this type of behavior and aggression or whether she is a bad breed. I realize that sounds terrible because it is not Macy's fault but we do have an 11-year old child and she is in fear of the 1-pound yorkie! It is crazy. Please help! |
