It is like something switched in them over the last week. Don't get me wrong - they are wonderful but have become an extreme handful. Is this normal for Yorkies???? Even their momma doesn't want to get in with all of them at the same time - they push her around the xpen!!! Just wanted some feedback to see if they all go through this around this age!! Also, I have been training using a peepee pad and they are doing alright but should I be doing anything else other than loving and playing with them?? Thanks as always for any responses!!...shelley |
Try spending some one on one time with them and allowing one pup at a time or two pups in with mom.....During this time frame they can get very rambunctious......5 pups can be a bit overwhelming......You're going to have to assist mom....
