I know there has been many posts about these particular things, but none of them have worked for me. I've had my yorkie for about 3 weeks and some days are better than others.

She doesn't listen! She loves biting on fingers/hands and chewing on electrical cords.

I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how i can put all the cords together and tie them up so she can't chew on them. Because she knows that when she does it she gets introuble but she does it anyways, even when I'm right there.

About the biting.. you can do just about anything in the book and she still bites. I have ignored her, told her oww until she has stopped but once you move your hand away she lunges for it all over again. I've tried to substitute a bone for the hand but she won't take it...and she has A MILLION things to play with.

Another thing that I am having trouble with is Crate Training. When I got her from her breeder the breeder said she was crate trained, but low and behold when I got her home, she HATED being in the crate, which is to be expected since she was a new puppy but you can have her in their for hours and she will still be barking to be let out. Even at night, she won't sleep anywhere but in bed with me. She can be dead asleep, but when I move her to the crate she will cry and bark until I let her out and let her come back in the bed with me. You can even see me in bed from the crate which most people recommend to do until they are used to you not being there.
She also goes absolutely nuts when I leave for work, she bites my pants, my ankles.. basically anything she can get her little mouth around so I won't leave. Shes completely attached to me and is bad when she goes around others while I'm at work.

She has also been trying to attack my 11 year old pomchi. Shes 12 pounds while my almost 3 month old yorkie is only 4 pounds. Roxy (the yorkie) will pounce around her and lunge at my pomchi.

I am also wondering how long Yorkies teeth for. Shes 3 months and still teething..just wondering if this will last much longer. I remember when we first got my pomchi she didn't teeth this long!

Nothing is working..and writing this post makes it seem like shes completely bad, but like I said above.. some days are way better than others. Please someone help me before I go bonkers!!
