We adopted a Yorkie from a one couple family 3 weeks ago. He is 5 years old. They gave him up because he was not getting enough attention and wanted him to go to a family who had children and were home most of the day. Bear officially belongs to our youngest Emilee who is 9. He seems to give her the most attention but at least 5 times he has viciously bitten her for absolutely no found reason. Tonight he was lounging on the couch and she and I were taking turns scratching and rubbing his neck on top. He was loving every minute of it. All of a sudden he viciously bit onto her arm and growled. It was a strong bite and once she broke loose he continued to go after her and bit her twice more. We had to smack his mouth to get him to break free and then immediately put him in the crate covered with a towel for between 5 and 10 minutes. He has never showed aggression before the previous owners say and he has never bit anyone else in our house and there are 6 of us. She loves him but is terrified of him more and more and just as she lets her guard down he attacks her again. We would WHOLEHEARTEDLY welcome ANY HELP!!!!!!!!!!
