Please tell me this little guy will calm down at some point...my husband and I are starting to worry we made a mistake in getting him...

I totally get your post! Never had a Yorkie until Christmas Eve 2012 and now (thanks to the hubs) I have a total of three and all of them are different. The first two (girls) are like bff's, they are great together and share everything ... then comes my little 12 week old juvenile delinquent, "Doc"! He was so tiny and so stinkin' adorable that we just loved him to pieces, but MERCY! did he ever crank things up around our house.

After reevaluating the situation I determined my little Doc just needed an intervention. I stepped in and set boundaries. I spent more one on one time with him grooming, hand feeding, playing, training, and basically became his pack leader. With love, gentle correction and quality time, my little Yorkshire "Terror" did a flip-flop and a week later he was a different puppy. He not only captured my heart, he learned to sit, play ball and how to smother us in kisses. He is 4 months old now and quite content to snuggle with me on the couch, curl up in my lap at the computer, go for a walk or play on his own with his toys. His sisters, both 6 months, have accepted him now, and I often find them all curled up together in one bed with the girls wrapped on either side of him.

I've read that a Yorkshire Terrier will adjust to their families. Whether active, or more laid back, they tend to take on the mood and attitudes of the family they very much become a part of.

Hang on, it will get better!
