I have had Brinkley since 1-27, he is now just about 6 months old. He hasn't been neutered yet....in 3 weeks he goes. And he is testing my patience & last nerve. I really don't know what to do. Aren't furbabies suppose to bring joy & happiness & lower your blood pressure. Well I feel like he is doing the exact opposite. The constant biting, the barking, the waking me up wayyyyy earlier then I want to be woken up, and the using my house as his own personal toilet. That last one there, the pottying......it's killing me! I want to pull all of my hair out! All these things combined has really been making me feel very overwhelmed. I have actually been contemplating in my head whether or not I made a mistake with getting him & if I could actually give him up. I think that would just break my heart though since I DO LOVE HIM VEEERRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY MUCH! I would worry if he was happy & where he was. I don't think I could do that but I also don't think I can keep going through this with him. HELP!!!
So I guess I need some input from everybody....did you all go through this? Was potty training rough for you too? Will neutering him calm him down a lot? What can I do? I love my wittle boy to death & can't picture not having him in my life but I am reallllly stressed!  |
i have a young yorkie as well. Kash will be 17 weeks old tomorrow.
and tomorrow also marks our two month anniversary of being mom & furbaby. i can't say that i'm as frustrated as you... but believe me, Kash does his fair share of irritating the crap out of me with all sorts of things. he runs away from me when i call him (making me chase after him). he gets into things he shouldn't... and every now and then, he'll pee wherever he pleases (just yesterday he left a spot on my bedroom carpet). i'd say that 80% of the time, he just DOES NOT listen to me...
now here's the thing, with all of the threads i've read on YT, people will say your pup (and mine) are still very young. and that it takes a lot of time for them to calm down and start obeying, especially the boy puppies. also, neutering will most likely calm him down, but i wouldn't count on him making a complete 180, and changing from a hellian to an angel. i'm going to advise that you hang in there with your pup. seriously, it'll all be worth it in the long run. if you say you love him now even with him behaving badly, then imagine how much more you'll love him when he's older and more mature.
right now he's just a kid, doing whatever makes him happy (even if it doesn't make you happy, lol). if you compare him to a human child in age, he's about 3.5 years old (1 human year equals 7 dog years... so 6 human months equals 3.5 dog years???). i seriously don't know if i did the math right, but if i did, then that would make him a toddler. ever head of the terrible 3's? lol.
anyway, keep trying and you'll never regret it.
