Ok, I need some advice please! I have a 9 month old Yorkie and my
boyfriend and family think I should sell him because I have been really
stressed since I got him but, I just can't seem to part with him. He is
a terror though! Let me list all of the problems I have right now and
see if anyone has had these problems and have solutions: not sleeping
throughout the night and barking loudly until I get up, tearing and
chewing up anything and everything, ripping apart his beds and toys,

pooping under the bed, peeing on the bed, going through my laundry,
biting my ankles and growling and biting my hands constantly, won't sit
still for even a minute, hyper hyper hyper! I'm a full time student,
work part time and volunteer part time at my local animal shelter. Any
advice is GREATLY appreciated. I love Cocoa to pieces and want things
to work out.

Update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If any of you recall I've been trying to find Cocoa a permanent home with someone who will be able to give him more time and attention than I can. I love him to pieces and hate to part with him but, after much consideration I know it will be in his best interest. I have been asking $500 but, now I've decided to go down to $400 in hopes that someone will be able to take him in. I would give him away to someone but, I've got college to pay for and atleast need to get back a little of what I paid for him. Please pass the word around! Thank you SO much for all of your help.

One of the reasons why Cocoa has all these problems is because he is asking for attention and doesn't have it to begin with. He is lacking training and something is missing. All he wants is love and the time it takes to discipline him to be the loving dog that you want him to be. You cannot change his hyperness though, that is his personality. Also some of the things he does like chewing up his toys, biting your ankles is just part of him being a puppy. He is only 9 months old and won't outgrow it yet. It takes time. Also is he neutered? I heard that can calm them down a little and make them less aggressive. The barking and ripping apart everything is just him wanting attention.
