How did you get her? From where? Was a rescue involved? Did you find her on the street? Did you get her out of the shelter?

This is a very dangerous time so do not allow your child around her until you find out what is going on. Many Yorkies come in scared to death and are very fear aggressive - which means they will bite. Also many Yorkies do not like children especially when they have not grown up with them or grew up with them and it was not a positive experience. Yorkies will usually be sweet at first and then they do become more terrier.

Do not and I repeat, do not start attempting to show her who is boss (pack leader) or it will only get worse. She needs some space of her own and some quite time until she relaxes.

How much exercise is she getting with you? Where does she sleep?
