Do i put yorkie in another room for time out, when he does this ..or if it is just a warning let it be..my yorkie is 8.8 lbs and the new pup is only 4 lbs..i just don't know if we are doing thing right..we have been giving our yorkie lots of attention as usual..but he is very possessive and i sometimes don't cuddle the new one when he can see..any suggestions on eating, sleeping arrangements..my yorkie has the couch..should i keep the playpen door closed ? at night ..just a tad insecure if i am doing things right..thanks Susan..Howie and Mickey's mom |
be careful not to give affection at the wrong time
do not reward the older dog with praise after he is aggressive
you must be the leader
you are the owner of all his toys
dont let him lead you
be patient and a calm assertive pack leader
