We have 2 other small dogs in the house, and cats ...... about 3 weeks ago we have a new dog around, a boxer mix...GENTLE as ever !!! My Yorkie was aggerssive towards him, I was thinking it was the same as usual ....Yorkie wasnt fixed at the time, and a female un -fixed came to visit, since then my Yorkie is CRAZY . He goes after the boxer ( who is NOT fixed ) and tries to KILL him . My husband has been bitten trying to get the liitle dog away . So, we got him fixed last week , thinking it would help ...he's WORSE !!! He now goes after his best friend kitty ...snarling and biting .... he goes after the other docile little dog if she is too close when he goes after the boxer ......
I bought a shock collar , maybe that will work ..because if anybody gets close when he is FREAKING out , they will get bit !!!! I dont want to put him down, or give him away , but I am getting SCARED of him !!!! He was in a dead sleep on the bed last night when my little kitty jumped up on the bed and he went ballistic !!! Attack mode.....
What is going on ? What can I do ? I cant take him in public for fear he will bite ( he does have a muzzle, but this morning he attacked the cat with it on ...) .......
If the shock collar dosent fix him, my husband will give him away or put him down ... |
Please don't put him down, or give him away. I would suggest a reputable dog trainer, to work on his issues.
Please don't use the shock collar, it's really inhumane. And it will only make him freak out worse.
I would confine him to a room, with a baby gate, and work, slowly with him.
No more animal visitors, etc. Positve reinforcement. Each time he is gentle, reward him with a treat and praise. I would only hand-fee him. this way, he learns, all his food, comes from you. When he tries to take the food from your hand, warn him gently, "No bite".
Often times, two males cannot co-exist in the household. He was there first, Mr. Boxer may need to go......
