So I adopted a yorkie about 3 months ago we've done some basic training. He's 3 and we put training on hold since he had bladder stone surgery. But about a month ago he bit my grandma when she lifted her foot up and yesterday he did the same with my moms boyfriend. I've tried it with him and he won't go for the bite when I do it but he will growl and snarl. How can I make this better? I'm assuming he was abused in his old home and based on the bladder stones he wasn't very well taken care of. Any tips on how to stop this would be much help!
