We love him and he is the cutest but i have seen other Yorkies and they are not as Hyper as he is....I know each [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR] has its own personality but not sure if there is anything we can do to help him.... please tell me that it will get better as he gets older!!!!
I really appreciate any suggestions!!! "
When you say you place him back in his area what do you mean? A crate, x-pen, gated kitchen..ect.. I ask because the only time I put Tink in her x-pen is when I know I will not be able to watch her 100%. The rest of time she is where ever I am. Maybe he is barking because he is confined too much? One thing I do with Tink is I leave her leash attached to me in the mornings so she cannot wonder off. This lets her spend more time with me before I go to work without letting her get into trouble while I am busy getting ready.
Just a few suggestions. Good luck ! |
That was my thought as well. All 6 of my little ones have the run of the house. Close doors, gate off rooms but by all means let that baby stay by you if you are around. I had 2 -12 week old puppies running around my house when I first got mine 3 years ago. They ran,played and did the puppy thing all day and most nights. I never crated them. Not that anything is wrong with x-pens or crates but limit the time in one. I have a friend that had to have a yorky after seeing mine and see turns up with a puppy. Well every time I talk to her I ask where her baby is the same response is in her crate. I finally told her to get the baby out of that crate. She started bringing her over to my house to play with my group and at a year old she was so hyper because she spent TOO much time in a crate. Now after a little over a year and me getting after her she finally lets her out of the crate and she is a much nicer dog.
As far as pee pads, If once they are used you throw it away. If they rip it apart it won't be dirty with urine, if it gets in his eyes.
When my girls were babies, if they put there mouth on my skin I would say (firmly) No teeth,and to this day they would never put there mouth /teeth on me. Good luck, and hang in there
