Hi! I am a new yorkie owner! I used to be a vet tech for 7 years, so I am pretty used to dealing with puppies and animals in general. I have never really been prone to little dogs, but when I first laid eyes on Fiona at 6 weeks old, I knew she would be mine! I moved into a new house with my friends, and Karen (breeder, who lives accross the street) insisted that I take Fiona. So, I got her when she was about 3 months old. She has been great!
She is great in the crate, potty training was a breeze, with only 2 accidents total, and all on the hardwood floors at that! So, all in all, I"m doing pretty well with the whole puppyhood thing! Well, once being a grooming assistant, I attempted to cut Fiona's nails! OH BOY
what a mess I found myself in! She started growling,flaring around, and just being HORRIBLE! At this point, I"m not really sure what else to do. We took her to the vet on Aug. 25th, and she was so bad with the vet- Now, Im not sure if she was acting up, because I had to hold her , so she probably was trying to protect me and my boyfriend, or if she is just gonna be one that needs to be sedated to be groomed. So, I have been working with her little by little. We are now at the point where I can get her to sit completely still to brush her, and I can hold her paws now. She still is growling and freaking out if I cut her nails. Anyone have a yorkie with this same behavior!? I'm at my last straw with her, and I don't want her to not like me because I'm trying to do things to her. Her nails are sooooo long, it's really embarassing. Any suggestions!? THANK YOU!
