 My Harley?Mean?
Our Bayley is five months old. We have him three weeks. Our kids are ages 8 and 5. The first two weeks was pure hell between the kids and the puppy. Bayley went nuts every time they came in the room. Attacking them, growling, nipping, barking. The younger one couldn't even walk passed the dog without him biting his feet or his legs. I think it was a combination of the noise and the fast movements that scared the dog.
I also read that Yorkies are not good with children and was really beginning to worry that this wasn't going to work out. So, I had my kids sit quietly on the floor, not touch the dog or pick him up, let the dog go to them. Bayley got used to being with them and is getting used to their wild ways. Lets face it, they are kids. Whenever he goes after them, Bayley gets it from Momma. In one week, Bayley behaves much better around the kids, but we still have a way to go. Good luck. |
