I have a houseful of rescues. One yorkie we got was a puppy mill yorkie. We got him when he was 3. For the first year I thought he was going to drive me crazy. He would run from one end of the house to the other all day long barking. Plus when anyone would come into the yard he would go crazy. He totally destroyed 4 window sills. I broke him of the habit while I was at home but one day I wasn't there and the gas man that would love to pick on him came to read the meter. Mickey when crazy and tore up the wood and it splinted in this intestines. There was nothing anyone could do and he died within 2 days.We have another rescue that has separation anxiety and he will urinate everywhere. I am working with him but for awhile I couldn't even go into the front yard it was so bad he would urinate on the beds. Now when we leave him he wears a belly band. But both of these yorkies knew they were loved. Just work with him and it will get better. We do have one that we got that she would bite if you tried to make her do anything she did not want to do. Her I had to use a pair of oven mitts to protect myself. We have had her 2 years and she no longer bites.
