At first I thought he was protecting my son. Then a little later something similar happened and he did it again but this time he only went at my son. Now I know he was warning him but do you think it can develop into more problems. I have seen at a lot of rescue sites that they will say a particular yorkie can't be in a home with small children. I love the dog but I love my son more and wont' keep an animal here that will bring harm to my children.
Your advice is desperately needed. Should I be overly concerned? |
I posted to this already....dont' know what happened to it!! LOL!! so...if this gets duplicated I apologize now...
My adult yorkie is dog aggressive...if there is alot of excitement going on around her like (when my daughters dogs are around...2 big goldens) and they jump around or come in from outside...Sadie will go after them...and if she can't get to them she goes after Lillie (our new furbaby...now 6 months old....I have spoken to a trainer and we are currently working with this issue...things are now getting better....slowly...but getting there.) she has NEVER nipped at a human...she loves everyone...jumps on them and gives them kisses...will even lay on their lap...Has you little boy maybe hurt him? Little kids don't know how to be gentle...Maybe he accidentally kicked him or picked him up wrong and hurt him....
Alot of breeders will not sell to someone with small children because of this reason...Maybe you could talk to a trainer and see what they suggest.
Good Luck to you.
