First I just want to say Hi to whom ever read this. I am a new Yorkie owner. I have never had one I usually rescue pit bulls. Anyways here is my problem I just got Toby form a person who livs down the street. He told me that when you open the door he likes to fly outof it. So that was the first thing we accomplished. Now if he gets startld or get touched on the paws or the back end he nips, and yelps. Today for an example I was lying on the couch with him and I knew he was near my legs, I stretched out and he nipped at my ankel. Last night he was laying at my husbands feet and he moved his feet away from Toby. Toby decided to nip his feet. The previous owner never mentioned this all the person said was he was about to give up on him and take him to the shelter, which of course I didn't allow. How do I handle this problem. He also lets me brush him after his bath but when I went to brush his back end he tried to bite. The previous owner also said he has to be put to sleep in order to get his nail done. So, how should I go about dealing with Toby because I do not want to have to give him up.
