Sometimes we owners bring this on ourselves (Not saying you do) but I know Galahad was my own home bred and me not knowing how to raise a Yorkies properly I brought his behavior problems on myself as I played TOO rough with him as a puppy...

I would wrestle with him, play tug with is bone with him, I didn't take him out in the REAL world like I should have...Now I'm paying for my mistakes...I can't blame him or be mean to him as I myself have created my little mans attitude.

With this being said he is young...I would not give up on him yet...I feel he is jealous of your other babies...Or as Barbara has said trying to be dominate over the pack...

That's where you come in...With gentle but firm guidance, don't be hateful in any way with him...Be stern...You are the one to so to speak to form/mold his attitude and the way he behaves...You are his teacher...As this I've learned don't allow ANY unwanted behavior to go any farther...Put a stop to it right then and there....

I do sometimes take Galahad as his OWN mother DID to him as a puppy...Take my fingers and put a gentle bite/pinch on the side of his neck NOT choking him at all, just a little pinch so to speak...when in any action I don't want.

Do you ever watch Cesar "The Dog Whisper"??? This is how he does all his dogs he trains with behavior problems...It works if DONE right...You MUST NOT HURT him/them...

Use the sound Cesar uses "SHHHHHHHH" (Spelling there) sound to stop the fights that is if you can do it loud enough to get their attention....Or CLAP your hands real loud....Or take a POP CAN and put a few coins in it when you see them fighting shake the pop can and they "SHOULD" all stop fighting and look at you like your crazy...The thing to remember is you MUST get him to calm down, to not get ANYMORE excited in his behavior....To redirect his attention to something else.

I have Cesars books and videos and they do help in a pack of Yorkies...I hope you can understand what I'm saying about redirecting his attention and correcting him right with out being mean, just be firm...Take a deep breath before you correct him...He will sense and feel your fear when you are correcting him so you don't want this...Always try to be CALM yourself when CORRECTING them...Hope some of this may help you.
