Wow, this has to be so hard on you. With all the yorkies you have had you must know using collars can cause collapsed trachea. I fully understand your dilemma and reason for having to use the collar. This poor poor dog, this is all from someone in his past harming him, I am sure of this. Like I have said, he is young and with the right trainer he IS fixable, I just do not think basic obedience training will train out his aggression, it can make it worse. I truly believe a dog behaviorist is what Sam needs, a trainer that will focus on his aggression. In Sam's case if he senses fear in you of him he will take control. And I do understand, no one wants to get severely bitten by a dog. Please keep us updated.
