As to grooming..he needs to be reminded your are the leader of the pack. Grab his face hair, look him the eye and tell him in a firm voice, no! Get his eye attention and stare him down...tell him his place and you are in charge..the voice is important, the firm grasp and eye contact.

I have spoiled rotten Yorkies, they pretty much do as they please..BUT they do not growl at me, they allow me to groom and handle them anyway I choose. If they do not like what I tell them, they ignore me and look away, but they do not confront me..that is what they would do in a pack with the leader.
I agree ! My girls are used to me grooming them but lately Chanel became very squirmy - I just hold her little face ...look her right in the eyes and give her my best tough look....it really works - she starts kissing me and stops wiggling - they do NOT like my tough look because I hardly ever use it - I'm ferocious !


NOT !

on the peeing thing...is he very small and maybe can't hold it yet ? are you putting him on a pad ? How old is he ?
