These types of games make Yorkiea agressive according to Victoria Stillwell and all the dog experts...and I saw it first hand so I agree...and have him neutered if he is not...best wishes |
Agreed. It's fun for us, but it's completely serious to a dog that has socialization problems. In the natural order of things, the dominant dog ALWAYS wins. When we play tug of war, sometimes we win, other times we let them win. That's a confusing concept for a young dog.
It also seems that Baxter views your children as his litter mates and not as higher up in the pecking order. I have a doxie that used to nip at my middle daughter. We ended up going to training classes and she was his main trainer. Problem solved, he learned to view her in a new light and has never bitten at her again (he's 9 1/2 now).
Good luck.
