I've posted several times about my yorkies aggression. Last December I called the trainers bark busters to help us. It helped a bit, but she still would be aggressive. The trainer is coming back on Tuesday, but I don't even think he will put her and the puppy in the same room! I emailed him immediately after getting our new dog once Sadie (my Yorkie) attacked her. I've grown up with goldens my entire life, and 5 years ago I got Sadie. We still have a golden and we have a golden puppy now. The puppy is great and she doesn't jump on her or instigate fights. I'm not one to give away a dog- in fact I completely judge and hate anyone who does! I asked the trainer what to do until he comes and he said keep them separated. Well, let's be honest. That's not realistic. Has anyone had ANY success at getting their dog to stop attacking? She lunges and growls and makes the worst noises. She's never made anyone bleed...
She is great with the dogs she lives with, so that's why I thought her and the puppy would be ok eventually but I need them to hurry up and get along because I can't stand feeling this way. I hate seeing Sadie this way. I'm starting to feel like it's not fair to either dog and I feel that Sadie might be happier being an only dog which is really not an option. We are asserting our dominance etc but nothing seems to work, and if it does it's never permanent.
- please don't comment saying why did you get a puppy or that I'm horrible for saying I want to give my dog away because I don't want to give my dog away and that's why I'm posting!
