I too found it strange that she was calling him an "it". IMHO...I think the dog is being the alpha dog, which shouldn't be that way. It also sounds to me like the dog is very upset for him to go outside and come back inside and poop on the beds and sofa. Yorkies are very smart, loving, stubborn, protective, they get jealous etc. I just feel that one person needs to take this little guy under their wings and just start retraining him, praising him and be consistent about it. He needs to have someone he can trust and someone that takes the alpha role. Can I ask...how do you discipline him? Why has he bitten you three times? Has he bitten your BF or anyone else?
