My goodness! It sounds like you are very overwhelmed. First of all, Toto is still a puppy and is just being playful..but you know that. I think Toto needs to get neutered. I'm not saying that is the cause of all this hyperactivity, but it may help a little with the aggressive barking (those male hormones and all) However, yorkies are known for their barking. Most little dogs do bark alot.
Also, please tell your brother not to yell at him when he wants to play..he is only doing what is natural for him..just distract him with a mylabone or some other play thing, like a squeaky toy. People have suggested today buying a tiny kong toy (the blue/white one is rubbery and great for teething puppies) fill it with the squirt filling they sell for them and freeze it. This should keep him entertained for awhile and may exhaust him.
He is way too young for a citronella anti-barking collar and may never be big enough for one. Yorkies are very very playful and hyper as puppies..unfortunately it just has to run its course.
P.S. Getting a puppy without your landlord's permission is not fair to the puppy. (sorry, I dont mean to lecture, but I had to say it.) Good luck |
