[Bama Yorkie Mom]

Kizzy had a bone she has had a long time. The day she came home from getting spade she ran to the corner with it like she was hiding it. I figured she was hiding it from Maggie. But she kept staying in the corner in front of it with her back towards us behind an end table. It is glass top tables and of course I could see her just fine. I finally decided something was wrong with her and I went to see about her and called her name. She wouldnt look at me so i reached down gonna just see if she was ok and suddenly she turned and growled at me and snapped at me. So I let it go. figured maybe I scared her. Then a few nights after that I was trying to get her to go nite nite and she turned and growled at me, so I raised my voice (pretty loud) and told her, Girl, dont you ever growl or snap at me again and I grabbed her by the nap of the neck and just shook her really good. And since that when she tries to run away from me and I raise my voice to her she calms down and sits and looks at me and then I can walk up and pick her up and take her to her bed, as I still carry her to bed every night, the whole 8 lbs lol . She's never done that until after she came home from getting spayed. But I dont believe in being too aggressive to dogs until I have a reason. I just felt if I kept letting her get away with that she would keep doing it and maybe even get worse. So hopefully it worked. So far, So good. But Ive always heard when their babies their mom will pick them up like that and kinda shake them when they try to bite her or misbehave. If for no other reason I feel she is a pretty big girl and could be dangerous to me or someone else if I didnt get the upper hand right now.
