 Hyper Yorkie
I bought a Yorkie for my mom so that she can have some company. The yorkie is now 15 months old (neutered at 6 mos.) and is extremely hyper all the time. He constantly wants to play and if you let him be on his own for a little bit, he will chew on sofa corners or table legs (things he knows he is not supposed to do) to get your attention. It is impossible to sit down for some tv time. He also strives to take things such as slippers or napkins, anything he can get his mouth on, so that you will chase after him, like playing tag. He enjoys this very much, exhibited by his wagging tail.
He is, otherwise, very smart and learns quickly. He was potty trained within a couple of weeks and knows how to do quite a few dog tricks. However, we cannot get him to calm down. He is more than a handful and is a lot more work than my mom needs. Is this a phase and will he get over it as he gets older? Help! |
