That may have been the cause of one of the bites anyway. She must be acting in an over protective mode since I'm new in comparison. |
It might have been because you were moving too fast but it could also have been because she is possessive of your fiancee or the bed. Does she do this every time you try to get in bed when your fiancee is already in it with Bdog? Does she do it when you try to sit on the couch with DF and Bdog? If so (or even if its only sometimes) your DF needs to quickly address the situation. As soon as Bdog moves or growls to be aggressive your fiancee needs to make a disapproving noise like "at" or "ught" and immediately pick up Bdog and put her on the floor. no discussion or anything else. she has to learn that that kind of behavior will get her a nice position on the floor by herself.

We'll get this. I know it won't happen overnight, but I'm persistent in anything I do. I think my fiance is on the same page too - and after the talks, I think she had the right idea on some of the training methods she had tried before, I just don't think she was doing them long enough by the suggestions by you all and research I have done. Point in fact, in the conversation last night, she said she tried a trainer...when I asked how many sessions I was told almost 2 weeks. I don't think that's enough with 95% of the dogs out there (not just Yorkies).
The dog is in a good home and she will be staying in this home. I hope to be reporting some major changes and exciting new through the next months for you all to read.

I'm glad to hear you and your DF had a nice long talk about the situation and will hopefully start working together with Bdog.
