His behavior is also like the rest of you described. He's a teenager. I also read somewhere that they go through their second teething at this age. Thank goodness I was a high school teacher and am used to dealing with teenagers.
I have never been so stern with Max as I am now. Teens need boundaries on top of boundaries and then they still try to push the envelope.

I am planning to neuter him soon; we have an appointment to see the vet this weekend. But, he's been doing a lot better with peeing on his pads. I think he just may have been frustrated for a couple of days. But, what hasn't stopped is his waking in the middle of the night barking. I'm really curious as to what and why he is barking.
I suspect (for some odd reason) that there may be a mouse in the house (I've had one in the past). I'm afraid he sees one and not sure what to do? Do you think all yorkies will go for it? Or, maybe he's a chicken and won't. But, sometimes I just see him looking at the top of my dresser and he's barking. I move things around if I feel like he's focused on something, but it'll take him awhile to calm down. Any ideas?
