I already have him separated from my two girls. During the day he is in the little bathroom with his bed and water, etc. and at night he has to stay in a crate in the bedroom because if she moves toward me or he perceives anything he just attacks. He is not that way with my other female.

I am at my wits end and hate to see my dreams go down the tubes because of one blunt Behaviorist, but if that is the consensus I will have to.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this situation?

I promise my feelings won't be hurt. They were already dashed last night.

Thanks in advance!

Is your girls your talking about Yorkies???

Is any of them in Heat???

Do you have any other male Yorkies in your home or is it just females and your one male Yorkie?

What does your females do when he acts this way toward them...Can you tell more about how he acts toward them??? Is he pinning them on the ground or just growling or biting???

Do your girls kinda lead him on to get him into trouble??? I know my Sofie is this way lol, she'll get them going and stand back like what did I do...Not saying your babies do this just trying to find out more to help.

I have 5 Yorkies in my Regular pack...3 Gals and 2 Males. My Galahad didn't really get hateful with my Teddy until we adopted Sage who is from another line and my girls started coming into heat. Galahads hatefulness started with Teddy over them sharing their food...So I had to separate them so they could eat alone, then the gals coming into their 1st heats, had to be separate again.

I didn't allow my girls in the same room as my males for a long long time and now my Boys are together in one LONG Playpen and getting along great...I have 1 bowl of water and 2 food bowls and now can feed them in each bowl without him getting hateful with Teddy and he doesn't hog all the food. My 3 gals are in our Yorkie Room as I have Weezie who is yet to go into her 1st heat.

I wouldn't give up on your little guy...I would work with him alone...This is what I'm having to do with Galahad...Firm but gentle at the same time. Galahad I have to say is calming his hatefulness down a lot. He is 2 years old now. I understand you having to keep him away from your other babies, it is hard and you do feel guilty but sometimes it's for the best. There's nothing wrong with having to seperate them, as sometimes it could save a life of a Yorkie.

I hope some of this will help you in some way. Lee
