This is what I've been thinking. My question is how long should she be quiet before I go to her. For a while she's so stressed she does this very loud houling cry. But sometimes she'll stop that for a bit. Then she'll start little whimpers again. Today I was trying to wait for 1 full minute of quiet, but right when it was almost a minute she started whimpering.

As far as the biting, I make sure to pet Tobie quite a bit and if he starts trying to bite at my hand I stop, take my hand away and say "no bite!". I wait a few seconds and then start petting him again. Usually after three or four times he gets it and will start licking my hand instead.

Bailey gets very angry when I take my hands away and that's when she tries to jump and bite my face or hair. And when I try to stand up and turn my back to her like I've read, she bites my socks or pant legs. Today I had to put her in her crate for 4 times before she got it. After the 4th time she licked me when she came out instead of biting. Not sure if she really made the connection thogh, but I know it'll take time.

I just wanted to let you know what is working for me since I am going through the same thing. I think you'll be amazed at how much better she gets just within a few weeks time  |
Thanks! It's good to know these are issues with all (yorkie) puppies and I just have to work on it. Good thing I have the month off to keep teaching her.
