My furkids hate having air blown in their faces. On the nipping, when she nips at you gently wrap your hand around her mouth and hold it closed and say "no bite" firmly. I then open my palm and say "just lick" in a really happy voice and hopefully she'll lick your palm. It took about a week before Tucker stopped biting and started to lunge at me and lick my face off, but at least he isn't nipping anymore. I think if she's had all of her puppy shots then she's fine to be on a leash. IMO if you want to get another puppy for her to play with, to provide companionship for yourself, and you can afford it, then go for it. However, I wouldn't expect it to mellow out your puppy. Mine just got crazier with another pup. Good luck! |
Thank you for your suggestions. I have to say that the biting is getting better. A firm NO seems to work most of the time. Its just the darn barking and growling. Almost seems like she's upset at me. I say NO and she barks and growls. She's one tough little cookie. She has a totally opposite personality then my other yorkie,Roxy who has passed (she's the one in the picture).
I know someone who has a 4 yr old Yorkie and she behaves just like Luna does now. I'm scared Luna will be a big time barker all the time. She seems kinda of aggressive. aaahhh!!! Its just frustrating, but thank you for your suggestions. I'll keep working with her..luv her to death though.
