Then is sounds like Scamp needs some training on who is the boss.
I have had several occurences with Buddy trying to be ALpha.
Until I understood what was happening with him I really thought
he was going to be aggressive and was so nervous I started searching
for answers.
Some Yorkies are just dominent and need to learn their place in the household. Makala has every right to be frightened, I was when Buddy
came after me but did not bite me. You need to become the Alpha.
He needs to respect you as leader so he can relax and take his place.
Start with feeding. Make him sit before feeding, if you giving him a treat
make him sit. Let Makala do this also. He needs to see her above himself.
Do not let him up on the bed any longer! He needs to sit on the floor.
The bed is for her and belongs to her. It's amazing how smart they are.
Don't punish, he just needs to learn your the boss.
Explain to Makala what has happened so she will understand and once
again relax when he's around. Do everything with her until she becomes
comfortable once again. Everything you do for him, play, feed, walk(go out the door first) etc you have to show him you control every thing he gets.
It will work. Good luck. Give Makala a hug from us.
Buddy is wonderful today but we had our moments.
