I'm getting tired of this behaviour. My friend's groomer said small dogs usually do this as a defense mechanism. He was fine when he was a puppy. This behaviour started at around 6 months. Am I the only one with this problem? And how can I stop this behaviour? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Hope you all are having a wonderful day!  |
my yorkie does the same, he barks at little kids, specially the one that try to pet him. I thought of having my little niece come over and have her give Marley some treats, and that way it may help him get use to being around kids, and then slowly introduce him to other children.
