I am owned by a 16 week Yorkie girl named Macy who I could not get to stop biting and nipping. It had gotten to the point last week where I was really reconsidering whether I had acquired the right breed of dog (my dogs of the past have been Shih Tzu and on the lazy side).

Although I live in a high rise and work 9 hours a day, I immediately began a two daily walk routine. The problem has improved drastically. She is still energetic, but much easier to control now.

Simple enough. Listen to Cesar - exercise, discipline, then affection.

As a school teacher who has been losing my temper a lot, this has taught me an important lesson about setting boundaries and regaining control.
