The only thing I've found that he does like is edamames, and I think only because I was eating them, lol. So I'll have to have my bf come in with edamames I guess, lol. | |

| Maybe you could try the baby food hot dogs. They come in different flavors, like chicken, turkey and beef. |

| That sounds like a great idea! He's a big begger, so any type of human food makes him happy! (But don't worry, the only time I gave him any was when he was taking medicine for his infection from the lice, and I had to get it down some how!) Are they ok for them? |

your actions the first time it happened reinforced to Harley that this would be acceptable as you can see it escalated!! do not reward after bad behavior with treats your boyfriend will have to establish control,you cannot make harley respect him HE HAS TOO! CLAIM THE AREA THEN DO NOT ALLOW HIM IN THAT SAID AREA(BED COUCH ETC..)DO IT BY MOVING INTO HIS SPACE AND TELLING HIM BACK AS HE MOVES BACK YOU ARE ESTABLISHING YOUR DOMINANCE AND DO NOT SAY GOOD BOY HIS REWARD IS IN YOUR ENERGY WHEN HE RESPONDS TO YOUR COMMAND (HE KNOWS) HECK JUST WATCH CEASAR MILLAN(AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TOUCH HIM IF YOU ARE AGAINST THAT PART BUT IT WILL TAKE MORE CREATIVITY AND PATIENCE)

I agree with not letting him on the bed - until such time as Harley knows he is third in the pack, anyway.

| I totally agree with Archie's mom. You is Harley's woman! There was an episode of It's Me or the Dog on Animal Planet where a woman had a Yorkie who was in a very similar situation as you. Her husband was sleeping on the couch because anytime he got near the bed the yorkie went crazy. If the husband put his arms around her he went nuts too. She said that the yorkie is no longer to sleep in the same bed. She left the bedroom door open but gated it and left the yorkie outside. He cried at first but eventually learned that it was not a place he was allowed. A lot of Archie's mom's advise was what the trainer told this lady as well. It doesn't sound like your dog is aggressive but rather sweet and just being protective of you. I am sure if you and your bf continue to work with him he'll come around. |

| Harley has not been allowed on the bed at all for the last 3 days. I used to leave my bedroom door open while gone, but I am keeping it closed so he can't get on the bed while I'm away. I would like to get a baby gate so that I can keep him in the kitchen while I'm gone, but we'll see. It really hasn't been that bad. I feel a little bad, but I know its for the best! Each night he tries 1 time to get up with me. Its so cute because he does it all sneaky and runs up and scoots as close as he can to me and lays down real fast. So I pick him up and tell him "No, lay down," and put him in his bed (or pile of blankets). Then I tell him "Stay" and he wimpers a little, and I say "Shhh," and he goes to sleep, lol. Its not bad at all. My bf still hasn't been around yet, so we'll have to work on all that next. Thanks for all the support and advice! |

| So my bf spent the night last night, and really put Harley in his place. I felt bad because Harley ran over to my side of the bed and I just turned my face away while my bf told him to lay down- in his meanest "dad tone" ever. It even made me scared! After that, Harley finally went and laid down in his bed and went to sleep. It was about a 1/2 hour of fighting with him over it, but my bf handled it all. So it was a little bit of progress! |

| Way to go! Sounds like you are doing great so far. It can be hard to dicipline at first but it is so worth it in the long run! It kind of makes me think of when I was little and got in trouble I would tell my mom, "I'm never going to tell my kids no!" Ha ha. Yeah Right!

Also for training treats try: cooked chicken (you can get it out of the cans if you want), cheese, hotdogs (cut up into very very small pieces); or liverwurst or brunswieger or other sandwich meats, bologna is good. For chew sticks - Try bully sticks from free-range cows: http://www.petexpertise.com/item--Bu...ully_bulk.html (Yorkies love these) and/or paddy wacks: http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/produc...&pf_id=0027997 (I have not met a yorkie who did not like these.) You cannot get them at your local petco or petsmart. You may be able to get them a dog boutique, but on-line is good.
