It is usually the worst in the evening (like a naughty toddler) but it does not involve food or toys. If she is playing and I pick her up she will bite and growl but in a very aggressive way. It is not just biting or teething....it is definitely more than that. If I walk into the kitchen and she is in this highly energized state she will attack my feet (I wear my uggs into the kitchen for fear of getting bitten). I tried to constantly give the "leave it" command and then reward her for good behavior but she soon figured it out and would bite me then stop to get a treat. As soon as she got a reward she goes right back to the behavior. To give you an idea she sounds like a wild cat when she attacks and tries to bite. Are there yorkies out there that are calm and sweet or is aggression part and parcel with the breed? |
