When he does go on the pad make sure you make a big deal about it. Let him think he really accomplished something great. Dont crate him! Confining him to a kitchen area or bathroom with a pad is ok but crates are not the answer. As far as the aggression goes it is simply an issue of socialization. He needs to be around other dogs and people as often as possible. Also, read up on teaching methods. Yorkies for dummies is a good book to start with. He'll turn around but it takes time and a lot of repetition. |
A good point is also the "ignoring unwanted attention." My Maltese Chloe used to be evil, as we called her. She was always growling and bit me and my boyfriend pretty bad a few times!!! Now I know I have to let her know I'm the boss, including ignoring unwanted attention. If she cries and wants me to pick her up on the couch (cause she can't jump up on her own), I ignore her and will only pick her up when she's not asking... Good luck!!!
