Hello,
I am new to this forum. This is my first Yorkie. He's 19 months old and a great companion. I've had dogs all my life, I had Jack Russells when my kids were growing up...they will fetch all day long, and are very easy to train. So now my little "Aussie," my Yorkie is my "empty nest dog" he's awesome, but somewhat stubborn, doesn't come when called, just looks at you. He doesn't like food, so training is really difficult. He's like a cat about eating, very finicky and refusses to eat!!
Now he's developed this marking problem!!!!
I read another thread about the marking. I have a belly band for him, I only used it when I took him to someone's house. I've recently discovered that he's marking on my leather couch and other places. He did this about 6 months ago, but we thought we broke him. We caught him several times, for about 2 weeks we wouldn't let him out of our site, I even teathered him. He seemed to be over it, but he's obviously started again. He hates the belly band, and so do I, but I won't let him destroy my furniture.
Any other advise?
