Hi BuddyBear, I'm just north of you in Flag. My Yorkie, Ollie is 4 1/2 months old. He too tends to go outside and do his business and on his pee pads along with shredding them up at times. My hands are terribly bloody and scabbed from him nipping and the teething process. I have tried many things, direct his attention to something else other than me, use apple bitter spray, yell Owww! Nothing seems to work!
Today I guess I made progress. It was the first day he actually sat on my lap and let me brush him without nipping. A treat here, a treat there, I see he was panting so this must be somewhat of a stressful process for him.
I can't understand for the life of me when out in the yard playing and tossing a ball, he runs to my garden and eats the cow manure???
Hang in there, I'm sure it will get better, just be patient. |
