Yes, he has drawn blood. I tell him no and clap my hands at him. The leash idea is a good one, I will have to try that.

He plays with our lab, who puts him in his place regularly, LOL. We live in the boonies, so no Petsmart or puppy classes around here.

I will def check the website out, he seems to get worse everyday. His unsocialable attitude concerns me more than the biting I thought yorkies were "velcro dogs"? I want him to want to be with us all the time and he doesn't seem to want anything to do with us.

Where at in PA are you? Just curious. Quite a few of us YTers are from PA as well.

I know it may be expensive, but there are trainers you can hire by the hour to come out to your house and evaluate him in his environment. Your vet would probably be able to help you out with finding one.

How long has your new puppy been in your home? He may settle in a little and start behaving a little more positively.
