We would appreciate any help you could give us. I am so afraid of doing something wrong and permanently affecting this dog in the wrong way. |
So sorry you did not have my full attention on this the first time.
Was reading it as a clients dog offered up a wonderful piece of info as to why she is the way she is and I had to stop and run with that.
I love it when a piece falls into place.
It is normal for pups to chew and bite on you and lots of things.
I am not happy he is after the cloths and is not stopping. So let us try.
A few things differently.
So no is not working and a time out either.
I am thinking this little guy is finding all of the attention even negative a boat load of fun.
Smart pants.
So let us switch it up.
Try a yelp and pull away gentlly and ignore him.
no toy no attention nothing.
If he continues to bite, you leave he stays.
What you are trying to teach is be nice or I will not play or be with you.
you may need a baby gate to keep him in the room you leave.
Let him cry if you leave and you need not stay out longer then a minute maybe two.
Then come back and offer a toy and if he takes it to chew on treat that and tell him good boy.
now if he starts again repeat.
Also not sure what you are giving him to chew on.
My girl is fussy she likes thing like budda bones and bully sticks which are not always the best for a Yorkie.
Oh yes and killing tennis balls not great for the teeth. although she does not have them anymore as we have found other things she likes.
So you may want to switch up the toy to find one that is loved more then you hand.
Even a stuffy to kill is good.
My favoutie saying on teething puppies --this to shall pass.
