 Help!!!! Last resort
My yorkie has pushed me to the limit. When we play with him, he bites. A few montgs ago I thought it was "puppy nipping", and that his teeth are growing in. But niw, he is 10 months old and it is straight up just BITING! To the point where he either scratches or draws blood.
He also wont stay off our new couch. I didnt let him on the old on but now that we have a new leather couch, he feels that he can get on it, run across it, and jump over it which I fear will hurt him on day bc the back is tall and behind it is our hardwood floor. When he jumps on the couch, I push him off, say bad dog, and put him in his smaller crate. I do this almost every time and he still doesnt stop. My mom, of coarse, gets upset bc this is a new couch.
Lastly, and most frustrating is the barking that has started around 2 1/2 months ago... Maybe 3. I am still in highschool, threrfore I take him for a morning walk every single morning at 6:50. But now he decides to bark at 4 5 & 6 am on the dot almost. Why? I wish I knew!! I will not continue to miss out on sleep bc he decidesto wake me up. He barks fir at least 20 minutes or I snap and yell and scream. I will never hit him, Screaming and moving him from around me is as far as I will go. But when i wake up sleepy it makes me resent him. And when I get home, i dont want to play with him either.
If these behaviors dont stop soon, i will be forced to send him to the pound which I would HATE to do. Pleassssssssssse help me pleaaaaassssseeeeee I am begging you!! |
