Why some Yorkies get this way and other's don't remains a mystery
to me. It is so important to be Alpha in your household.
There is a book called Nothing In Life Is Free. This book has helped me
so much with Buddy. We cuddle them and treat them as babies and
that's not at all what they need. They needed to be treated like dogs
because that's what they are. I went through this with Buddy.
I got him at 14wks and gave him nothing but love, socialized him with
every dog in the neighborhood and people as well. He's never been
aggressive with people, loves little children but big dogs he'll go after
still today, 4yrs later. You must make him work for everything given
to him. Sit before eating, sit before playing, sit before going outdoors.
You have to take control of his life. Show him your the boss at all times.
Aggressiveness can show up in many ways. Toy guarding, food guarding
etc. I went threw it all. NILIF is the answer to everyone's prayer's if they
have a dog showing agressiveness. Buddy is loving a cuddle bug and
enjoys people company but if allowed to get away with anything will
glady take over once again. It's very much like raising a child.
You pamper them they become brats you take control and they become
productive member's of the family.
Hard to belive that such a small creature can make you work so hard
But that's a Yorkie for you. If I knew then what I found out over
these last five years I would have bought a parakeet
