Every time I try to pet him or pick him up he tries to chew on my fingers.... Not in a mean way, just like the puppy chew way,, not aggressively. I dont want it to lead to aggressive behavior though! Does he grow out of that? I cant even let other people try to pet him cause he just gets too excited and jumps on them and tries to chew their fingers and stuff too.
Any ideas? a firm "no" doesnt work... he doesnt understand...
Is this normal and will he grow out of this stage? Thanks!! |
he may need exercise... they do grow out of it.
good book i have been reading is.... let the dog decide...
and cesar milans books.. its easier to raise 2 puppies together of the same age... they chew on each other... yorkies are chewers and diggers.. you just need another yorkie...give him lots of love, and dont rub his belly..
belly rubs lead to aggression...in some dogs...just pet him everywhere else
