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. |
I don't think anyone can tell from the short post what is really going on with this dog and unless you have dealt with a Yorkie who bites you must be very careful with the advise. This is why I asked the questions to see what is happening.
My comment about putting down is not misleading if you understand rescue...most rescue's will not take a biter period as they could be sued and if you tell animal control, humane society etc they will put the dog down also. This person posted she might have to give the dog up. This is a big problem and I ended up with 3 yorkies that bite people/children and I had to adopt them myself because our rescue could have been sued if we adopted them out. The humane society would call me as last resort and if I didn't take them then they were going to be put down. Even no kill shelters will put a dog down for biting.
