He's getting proper training, love, exercise, etc.....he's just obstinant. Perhaps dogs have disorders as humans do. Just frustrating.
I do like him - he's cute. Don't take my screen name to heart - I do have a sense of humor. If I didn't like him I wouldn't be registering on a forum where the experts are. For the most part, we've done everything you've suggested (except the pennies in the can, and the expen).
Perhaps you've just been lucky enough not to come across such a dog as Finn. |
Well, I'm sure all yorkie owners will agree with you on that, yorkies are very obstinate, determined, stubborn, and pigheaded, more so, than any other breed I've had; that's one of the things I love about them! Most breeds really want to please you, and have no problem with the human being the "master". Not true with yorkies, you have to outwit, outsmart and outplay them, and for most of us, this is too hard, and it's just easier to build a fence. They are trainable; at least that's what I've heard.
