Last week, he literally ran around and barked constantly from 8pm until about 3am...it was unreal. This is the most obstinant, stubborn, untrainable dog I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it's my mother-in-law's so I can't 'crate' him. Until recently, the only way to get him to come was for my mother-in-law to get in the car and start it up (she takes him everywhere she goes)...but now he won't even come for that.

Is there any way to slow a Yorkie down? At this point, I'm praying for animal control to pick him up. I certainly don't want to be the bad guy and take him to a humane society farm, but I can't take any more.

Help?

If you give the dog up, please make sure that it goes to a rescue or no-kill shelter.
