[QUOTE=yorkietalkjilly;4088865]Tell me.....would you be quite so sanguine about this if the dog had been a Rottweiler or pitbull who growled and bit you after suddenly surprising it? No, you would be worried sick.
No naked aggression should be tolerated from any dog, whatever size. I would have jumped up, snatched those covers off and placed me hand over the back of my dog's neck, given it a clawlike clasp, perhaps even a bit of a scruffshake of the skin only - being careful not to pull against the dog's throat as I did it - and then in
A voice of reason for responding to toy breed misbehaviour. My boy Yorkie has never, ever showed me any aggression what so ever. Just last night, and he should have been in his crate (but he wasn't), hubby I guess wanted him to sleep with him; I came to bed and sat down.... on Razzle, and no I didn't use all my weight cause I felt a funny bump under me; Razzle woke up and moved! didn't growl or heaven help me bite me on my derriere
He was then put into the crate where he should have been.
If Razzle is up on the bed, and sometimes what happens my big male walks over for a kiss or a cuddle, Razz will aggressively growl at him. I say NO, get up and immediately put Razz in his crate. This has to be repeated ever so often. But he does learn.
