We have a full blood Yorkie that is 6 years old. Last week we were given a 2.5 yr old Yorkie. Since day one, he has growled at our oldest Yorkie that we have had for 6 yrs. Our oldest Yorkie can be just walking through the room and the newest one will jump on him and try to bite him, hurting him. Of course it scares our oldest dog. Also when I am holding the Yorkie that we have had the longest, the new Yorkie will act like he is sneaking towards us and he will snap at him, and bite him being so mean. Anytime we are showing affection to our oldest dog he tries to bite him. So unfortunately, our oldest dog runs around scared all the time. We can't leave them alone for one second for fear that the newest dog will hurt him. I just don't know what to do. I have tried scolding him but that does not work. If this doesn't stop, we will have to find another home for the newest dog.

Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks to all!
