You can get this biting thing under control. I got my first yorkie too young many years ago. When she would bite on fingers, I would calmly in a stern voice say "No Bite, Get A Toy". I would then direct her towards her toy basket. I would keep repeating it and directing her towards her toys until she would get a toy to play with me. It takes some repeating and reinforcement, but they do eventually get it. If they want to play, hands are a no-no; toys are what we play with.
I never had problems with her being destructive. We just have to be their parents and point them towards the appropriate things to play with. Everytime she goes after something she shouldn't to play with, "No Bite, Get A Toy." |
