hello everyone my name is chris and i am 38 year old who simply loves dogs, but also needs your help as i am at my wits end with my yorkie.

i have a lovely mongrel who is 11 years old. placid, loving great with the kids and i love him dearly and he loves us.

after a family death in the household in sept 2009, i rightly or wrongly decided that another dog in the house, would be good company for all of us, including my mongrel, milo. indeed the first couple of months kept our minds of things. i wanted to do this before my mother in laws passing, and she was all for it. but sadly she never got to see our new addition, fudge.

i knew it would not be easy but 16 months on i didnt know it would be still so hard.

the problem i still have is that fudge is constantly playfully biting the older dogs legs and licking his mouth all the time, it just does not stop, ever.

this is causing problems within the family and i have to say its starting to get me down. i feel so sorry for my older dog who still refuses to get angry, but i can tell that he is not happy.

i am a loving father and dog owner who believes in the phrase a dog is for life. i love both my dogs so much but i am starting to think that my problem that fudge is causing will never get better. i am desparate for ANY advice from anyone out there. why does he bite his legs ? if its teething when will it stop. why does he lick his mouth constantly ? please anyone, can you help ?

ps. i had him castrated last year on vets advice in a bid to calm him down. this also has not worked.

many thanks chris
