They would have a behaviorist there who would be willing to work with you on this since you got her from the SPCA...had to use a soft muzzle on Scoobers for fear aggression towards other dogs and really work with him when he got nippy with the kids...hang in there...the love they give back comes 10 fold...but getting there can be really hard. Working with them on their individual type or issue and understanding it can be key...especially with rescues working with a behaviorist more than a training is key. |
She protects me. I stopped her from biting the other dogs trying to get into my lap, but the bite on my friend happened rather quickly. Now I know to put her away or put a muzzle on her if people come, till she learns better.
I can't take her back...if you could only see the look on her face when I pull in the driveway, or the sad one when I'm leaving...(The yorkies are too small to look out the window)
I can say though, that Yorkies must be hooked into our endorphins somehow. You must have one to be truly happy! It's very difficult to find one in a shelter around here, both of mine came from breeders, not shelters, & I don't feel guilty at all.
