Are you feeding him on a schedule? Has anything changed in routine?
I suggest that if he acts like that, you take him outside and make sure he does not have to go potty. He may be telling you he needs to go.
If it is potty related, take his food up at 7pm and watch his water intake. Instead of water in his bowl, put in some ice cubes and he can lap up the melted cubes instead of guzzling down a ton of water!
I have to caution you against "flicking him in the nose." It's very painful, yorkies are so tiny, and you are instilling fear in him. This will lead to an insecure confused non confident dog in the future, that may result in being fear aggressive. It can also lead to house training issues and submissive urination.
My neighbor currently had her friend watch her dog, and her friend did the nose flick thing, and Bless his heart, her dog now cowers when you lift a hand to pet him! (He was only there for two weeks!)
If you don't want him on the bed, put him in a crate or look under the training forum on how to teach him the "bed" command.
Hope this helps~ |
