We have wandered a bit from the original intent of this thread, which was actually to encourage all to train their Yorkies. And yes I have read studies, not Yorkie specific but always in the top 3 reasons for owner surrender, is behaviour problems.... That encompasses, not housebroken, growling, snarling snapping, biting, non stop barking etc.

And for the most part it is the owners fault, afterall they need to train their dogs, big or small. There is a very very small percentage of dogs,maybe 1 or 2% that somehow were born with their minds wired differently. I know my gal Zoey was one such dog.
