First of all, I am so very sorry for the loss of your wife's Granny and the illness of your Grandmother. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
It sounds like your little has come "out of his shell" and is behaving like a normal, active yorkie pup behaves. Yorkie pups are very active, inquisitive, independent and demanding. I have always cherished the "puppyhood" 'cause it is gone all too soon.
Please find a way to refrain your young children from chasing Snickers. This is a disaster in the making. Yorkies are fragile and if one of the kids slips and falls on him, he is surely to be injured. Chasing a puppy reinforces some of the behaviors you find undesirable.
If you feel you have made a mistake by adding Snickers to your family, you might consider rehoming him. When the stress of dog ownership outweighs the pleasure, then it's time to make some hard decisions. |
