We had the same kind of problem with Xavier at first. I couldn't tell him no or discipline him to save my life! My hubby had been telling me for months that I had to tell him no and I just wouldn't do it. Finally, one day a friend was over and he wouldn't quit biting me...she was like, tell him NO! And of course I did in a timid voice and that did nothing...so she had me kinda swat him on the nose when I said it and BOY! Did that work!

It took about a month of being very firm with him and crating him off and on, but now he's pretty well behaved! I felt awful doing it, but now he's a much better dog.

While he was teething, the poor guy couldn't help but chew on everything. We just started giving things he was allowed to chew on when he began chewing on things he wasn't supposed to.

He's so funny. You can get him super hyper now and in the same 10 seconds he'll go from play biting to kissing you. Now, even if we are playing, I don't worry about him hurting me or anyone else. Yorkies are true terriers and you MUST treat them like that. Its hard because they are so tiny & sweet, but sometimes you hafta be strict.

Hope Bailey learns soon
