Honestly I believe he was just wanting to play. I kept him on a leash while inside today (with a harness) so if I needed to be able to get them apart I could and fast. They absolutely positively never ever ever in a million years have access to each other without me being in the middle of them. That being said it went better today, he only barked at him once and that was this morning before I had him on the harness/leash. I am so glad to find others who know kids and dogs no matter the size (of either) can be taught to live well together. That said I must say to the ones who are always spouting that kids and yorkies/small breeds should not be kept together. You dont actually make most people not buy them, you just make them not ask for help. So instead of helping them with your knowledge you box them into their lack of and they may not be able to get through this training experience or that. Why not just agree to disagree and not say anything. Whatever happened to building people up instead of tearing them down. Because honestly no matter how it is meant to come across it is coming across as condescending. Like we have a group of Yorkie snobs lol I am not one to be bothered by it everyone has their own opinions and thats fine. But I am not going to box myself or my kids in because of their size and age. I am going to teach them how to respect animals of all size and the dog will learn he comes last in the pack. That being said I am glad I found the support of Yorkie talk. It has been an interesting week with our new pup, and just finding out that my oldest is going to have to have his tonsils and adenoids out and tubes put in his ears I imagine those two weeks of recovery with a new pup in the house will be interesting. But not impossible, and having a puppy there to lick little boys awake makes our house a happy one full of giggles and smiles
The 14 week compared to the terrible twos is a very good comparison. That would explain a lot of defiance I have met the last few days
But he knows when I mean business. He was getting into something he wasnt supposed to earlier and I told him to lay down and he dropped so fast you would have thought he was dead! He is every bit as honery as my skin babies!!!
