Hi folks- Our 14 year old Yorkie has become an incessant chirper in the past year.
We KNOW he's intelligent, he's communicating...he goes to the Vet regularly and has no health issues (Thank God) but the chirping is driving us insane.
He went to obedience school early, and has always been a well-behaved guy-
He wakes us up when HE wants to get up and if he isn't getting 100% of attention 100% of the time, simply lies on a carpet and CHIRPS.
Is there anything gentle we can do to curb this behavior?
Because of his advanced age, we don't want to be too strict, though I do have him go through his routine (Sit, Down, etc) a few times a day just to keep him sharp.
