I don't think a muzzle should ever be put on a yorkshire terrier. Dont criticize people that don't approve of you. Look at the name of the forum. Most people here didn't have to go to class to have a loving yorkie. However many have for fun. Many don't even own a crate because they think yorkies are above them. Many work from home to spend more time with them. Many have more clothes and friends than most people. I don't think you understand what it means to be in love with her. You wont unless you bond. Yorkies are different than a dog like a heeler.
Im assuming your post was to me? You spelled my name incorrectly. |
I reluctantly suggested the use of a soft muzzle because he stated being bitten prior-I don't like muzzles on any dog actually but nevertheless even little dogs shouldn't bite-having said that...he responded to me clarifying that Bdog had only bitten him 3 times...I really regret having suggested such a last ditch effort-but it seemed the situation was drastic enough in his description at the time, especially as an alternative to hearing a dog is being physically punished-I really can't understand how people can think hitting a dog that bites is actually a "training" method or a punishment and not just plain cruel furthermore continuing the cycle of aggressive behavior. Anyways I just wanted to clarify since I was the one whom suggested a muzzle it was only because I felt that if the dog was muzzled during training and thus couldn't bite the dog wouldn't be physically punished-I was relieved to hear that not only was the biting not as big an issue as first presented but that this guy actually felt a muzzle wasn't needed. I was completely taken back by his later response, a little super scary, the idea that muzzling for long periods of time would be acceptable by anyone though. Overnight even-who would actually do that!?-I really don't want an answer to that question...
