I am afraid to walk in my back yard to put clorine in our pool because the puppy will attack my ankle again & draw blood which one time covered a paper towel. (Puppy biting has impoved somewhat but attaching during playing has not). Is this just a normal fun, loving yourkie puppie? I have had a snchunzer & carin terrier & they did not act like this. The groomer & puppy class trainer also agrees she is very over active. She is very smart like all yorkines. Learned everything she was suppose to in puppy class. I luv her to death & we are strict with her to a certain point as we all are for training purposes but where do you draw the line. She follows me everywhere so it isn't like she is afraid or mad at me. Our quiet time is when I hold her & feed her yogurt from a spoon. I knew before we adopted her this breed is fisty & can get into trouble often. We try to play with her in the back yard & take her for walks for exercise but she just goes & goes. I checked with the owners of the rest of the litter & they all say the same thing. They luv them but are driving them crazy. I will not crate her except for sleeping because she is just to overactive & crating her would make matters worst & I think that would be more cruel than the herbs I asked about. I am having her spayed when she is 6 months. I was told they settle down when this is done. Heaven help me I hope this is true. My daughter who LOVES dogs cannot believe her behavior. Don't get me wrong, she is ADORABLE! When she is good she is the BEST, but that doesn't happen too often. Please tell me you went through this & she will settle down to the lap loving dog I want. |
You need to see a vet with behaviur back ground or a PHD board ceritified behaviourist sooner then later and get some help.

Lap dog may never happen but you need to hang in until three when they are mantally mature and not before.
