Hi everyone,

It has been 3 weeks since we adopted our 6 year old male Yorkie. He is settling into a routine. He is house trained, is getting better with his walking, not reactiving so much to people and other dogs. He is now sleeping downstairs as he wouldn't settle upstairs and he sleeps all night no crying or barking.

He is very loveable and enjoys company but he still has snapping issues. If is he sitting on my knee getting petted and he hears a noise that frightens him he snaps. I know it is a fear reaction, he is getting better as sharing his toys. And will give you the toy if he wants to play, but would be snappy with chews.

All in all his behaviour is good but the snappiness worries me, my husband and I are careful not to put him a in position that he would be afraid but we can't forsee every outcome.
