We won't be looking into removing the dog. I don't want to see that happen nor do I believe the fiance will allow to be. It was said that I'm marrying this woman and she comes with a dog. I have accepted this fact and the prospective changes needed to make a happy place for everyone has brought me here to be schooled and learn suggestions by those with the most experience in this breed.
I don't hate the dog, and those that know me personally wouldn't ever expect or know me to be a hater of any animal. I don't want to get rid of any problem, I'd like to fix it and I'd like to know how to fix it the best way so in the future, should another dog be brought home (of the Yorkie breed), I'll know the best ways to address the problem because all research points to the suggestion that this breed is hard to train.
I am a researcher and I work problems. I make mistakes as you all have read - but to follow that plan without putting in the necessary time on figuring out the better way would be the worst thing I could do.
Hence - this is why I'm here.
I've read some fantastic ideas and I'll start implementing them tonight. First order of business is going to get some cheerios...small, easy to hide in the pocket, and I know she will love them.
Thanks again!
