HI,
My first question is what to do about my yorkies fighting. This is not just playing rough, they are drawing blood. We try and keep them apart, but they need to get outside once in a while. If not apart, they will tear into each other a couple of times a day. I really worry if they start and we are not home. It has been worse since the littlest one had babies. (Beautiful 7 weeks old) She is only about 3 1/2 pounds. The biggest one ,9 pounds, normally will just walk over to her and start in. She is becoming very timid now, but fights back ferociously. Is there anyway to stop this? I am thinking of muzzling them when ever they start to fight. Would this help? Spraying with water doesn't slow them down. Thanks for any and all help. I don't want to have to get rid of one of them.
