Also, do not put the dog in the crate as a form of punishment. The crate is supposed to be a safe place for the dog to go when he or she feels overwhelmed.
But I agree, do not hit the dog. It's very ineffective with Yorkies, well most dogs for that matter and can actually spur the anger and defensive biting.
It seems that he's either frightened or may be in pain somewhere. Did you take him to the vet when you got him just to get a clean bill of health?? |
