Ok, so I have this beautiful yorkie. His name is Gizmo. I love him to death, but something has to change...
This lovely little boy has taken to chewing and biting us whenever and wherever he can reach. He used to always be of for a scritch on the tummy, but now all he wants to do is bite. We get on the floor for a game of ball and he'll go around us and bite. For such a little guy, his teeth are sharp! Ever see the Bill Cosby skit about "Jeffery, Jeffery, Jeffery"?
Nothing is sacred, he's not partial to any part of the body or our clothing. I was sitting with him last night trying to play with him and he kept jumping at my chest and face, mouth wide open, razor sharp teeth snapping. I had to get up.
And don't think that getting up will always be the end of this snarling session. Oh nooo... it's not unusual for him to go with us after we've stood up. Of course, we're dragging a snarling baby boy with us, because he's latched onto a pant leg. ::sigh::
I read in a Yorkie magazine that spraying them with water would be a good control. I refuse to yell at him or spank, he's too small for that. But for the past three nights he's looked as if he just had a bath. There's
got to be a better way.
I love this this little 13 week old guy to pieces, but it's becoming obvious to me that there's something he needs and we're not providing it. Any help that you can offer would be so greatly appreciated.
