 Yorkie aggression
Hello, I have had my yorkie ,Bug (male), for 3 years now, he is a rescue and we believe around 7 yrs old. We recently moved in with my boyfriend and his small dog, a toy Aussie. Bug has become very attached to my boyfriend and the two dogs get along well.
However In the last few weeks if my boyfriend goes to bed before I do and Bug goes with him, when I or the other little dog try to go to bed Bug growls and shows his teeth, if I try to pick him up he tries to bite and is very aggressive.
I don’t know if he is trying to protect my boyfriend or if he is just trying to show dominance but this can’t continue. If we all go to bed at the same time there is no issue, it is only when I try to come in later.
Any advice would be helpful. I don’t want to have to crate him but I can’t be bitten, I’m on blood thinners due to a heart attack and I can’t risk being bit.
Thank you in advance |
