By the way, sorry to hear that you got your feelings hurt!!!! I understand that some breeders do not want to sell to a family with children (that is their choice).....but in our family Buddy would be sooooo sad without the kids running around!!! I have "doggie" rules for Buddy's protection and NO ONE breaks the rules....so everyone stays happy!!! |

Not saying you are miss treating you son but because the puppy is smaller you feel like you have to protect him more. I did the same thing when I had my female baby and she got very aggressive with my human child. I didnt know what to do at the time ,so I got rid of her. I regret it every day. I hope you can get it under control. |

That is exactly what I have done... When my Girls came to me she was VERY timid, shy, and scared of everything. Her sister on the other hand, after a while would venture out and explore. So because she was so afraid I have obviously nursed that behavior without realizing what I was doing. So now I have to fix it:( |

[QUOTE=JeanieK;1735178]I agree and it should all be done before getting the dog. I don't think most people who have dogs are experts and have ALL of the answers to any problem that may come up with having a dog. You can't always predict behavior issues. Some dogs may not have any problem with a child that likes to run around and is noisy. The OP is coming to this forum for help and it looks like she's received some great advise. I don't see the need to bash someone because she's wasn't an expert on dog behavior before she had one, rather she should be commended for asking for advise and wanting to do right by both her son and furbaby. To the OP, it looks like things are looking better for you:thumbup: I hope to hear soon that your son and furbaby are the best of friends:) Good luck! |

Thank you:D Something I didn't mention but now seems prevalent is that out of all 4 of my Yorkies, she is the only one that has a problem with my son. The other 3 love him and play with him all the time. I think it may just be a difference in personality:confused: |
I hope things continue to improve for you. Sometimes, we just need a change of approach. Can't wait to hear more stories of your son becoming a little dog whisperer. ;) |
I was going to suggest making your son part of training. I'm glad it's getting better. Next, I would let him hear you bragging to people how wonderful he is with her and when they get the tricks learned make sure he gets to show people what he has taught her. They'll be buddies before you know it. :) |

I have a seven year old and i think some of you are nuts, i love my dog, he is lots of fun for this family of 4, however my 2 kids are the most important part of my life and i would never pick the dog over the kids, my 4 mo.old yorkie also tries to bite my son, not aggressively, but playful, however his teeth are sharp and he hurts, when he does it i immediately lay him down like Ceaser suggests and i hold him for about 20 seconds, when i let him up with an ok, he stops biting and starts playing differently. Sometimes he is so excited he won't stop the biting at which point he goes in his crate and doesn't play with anyone for 30 min. Your son is young, he just wants to have fun with his dog, how sad is it that you are not making it work. He is just a child. |

I'm not saying children don't need to respect dogs, i tell my kids that and i surpervise when they are playing with him and sometimes the aggression does not come from things they do, its from the dog and that needs to be corrected immediately. All i'm saying is don't always blame the kids, some dogs are very agressive. |
son hating yorkie I think I'd put both of them in time out at the same time. Your son might need some "quiet time" to be reminded that his behavior is not acceptable and maybe the little yorkie can use the same. By removing both of them from the scene and making both understand that this is the action that will be taken EVERY time...hopefully over time it will get better. I understand that you love both...but the next bite could land on your childs face and that could be really bad....for everyone involved.:thumbdown |
