What does she do to your six year old?
Having worked with rescue yorkies (that bite people) your little girl sounds very fear aggressive and the worse thing you could do is challenge her. She will continue to bite and you will have to put her down. I do not agree with Milan's treatment of dogs at all but especially with a red zone Yorkie. |
Great questions to ask.
From what she posted, it just sounds like the dog is spoiled though, so that was my take on what she should do. Just because a dog bites does not mean you HAVE to put them down. That's kind of misleading.
To me, it sounds as if the dog has been spoiled it's whole life, given everything she wanted, and has no rules, boundaries or limitations. It's always harder to train an older dog who already has these ideas engraved in their head that they're the boss.
