I agree with all the advice. Chewie does the same thing , but at 10 months, he has it all figured out. If he grabs something he shouldn't have it gets my attention and it is a game. The only thing that stops him is a treat and he knows it. He will go outside bring in a tree branch and drop it on the floor and look at me, "where's my treat?" I know that it is bad to reward bad behavior, but I don't have all day to chase a dog! As many of you know it is the nature of the Yorkie! They are just too smart and figure things out very quickly! Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.
