Have you trained him basic commands, sit, stay, wait, LEAVE IT.
My first two yorkies I thought they didn't need training because they were toy breed dogs, I changed my mind real fast when at 1 year old the baby got loose while I was on a camping trip, she headed straight for the woods, calling her name did nothing, the more I ran after her, the faster she ran. I was able to catch her and when I did all I could do was hug her and cry, I thought I would never get her and she would be lost forever in the woods.
All dogs need to be taught basic commands no matter what size they are. |
He knows sit, stay, lay down, drop it, no, and a ton of random tricks.
Usually when he's like that we grab his muzzle so he can't snap at us and we tell him to "cut it out" in a calming voice.
The other day he had one of those silicone bags that they put in packages to absorb moisture. I went to grab it out of his mouth and he immediately started growling. My dad had to come over and pry his mouth open for me.
