We had some similar episodes with Sophie when she was first home with us. And she still does it at times. It's a game to her. At first we thought all this growling and lite biting was her being agressive. So I had a friend stop by who bred and raised Yorkies. She quickly told me it was more "play" than "threat". Keep trying and eventually it'll work. You could always give her/him a "reward" whenever you put the leash on? That might help. |
