We (my husband and I) decided to buy her so my daughter could get her another dog (shishue) however you spell it..lol so we took the yorkie and had her about 3 weeks and guess what..PAD TRAINED..Than we let her go in the rest of the house to see if she would go to the pads and YES SHE DOES..i thought our problems was over and the dog was still in the family because my daughter had 2 (small kids) and they missed her, anyway now heres the problem..
Now that she has been in our family for about 6 weeks she decides to get testy with me and my husband at time..Didn't bother me to much because i have tough hands (sun conure and parrotlet) lol..but than she started getting jealous OF OUR MALTESE that we have had for 6 years....well that just don't fly with my husband..
Have any of you had this problem and if so how do you get it stopped..If we can't get this corrected than we are going to have to sell her no there way..
Thanks for all your help..this is the first yorkie we have had..always had maltese.    I pray someone can help because i really want to keep her in the family... |
Congratulations on the pad training it just takes patience and perseverance which is exactly what you are going to need to teach her how to behave. She was taken from her mom to early (8 weeks) so she never learned proper behavior which is why the 12 weeks is recommended. My Buster was only 9 weeks and he had his issues as well. When she goes for your hands pull them away say ouch loudly and turn away no playing no interaction after bad behavior. If she hurts you play stops she must learn good behavior. The same with how she reacts with your Maltese if she acts possessive or aggressive then she gets a time out no rewards or play if she behaves badly it's time out. If that does not correct the bad behavior than I would have a trainer who is familiar with aggressive behavior come to you home and work you, your husband, and both dogs if possible. Best wishes on retraining.
