Senior Yorkie Talker | going CrAzY!!!!...need to vent ahhhhhhhhhhh bentley is driving me INSANE...he usually gets naughty before bed, but he is being extra naughty and its driving me crazy and im about to loose my cool. He is getting into eveything, chewing on everything, barking, growling, jumping off the BACK OF THE COUCH! Going pee on the carpet even thouhg he knows how to use the potty pad. Usually when i say "Bentley NO" he stops and looks at me and stops what hes doing, but now hes not listening to me. Hes going crazy. I tried putting him in his play pen in the other room just to get away from him but he started barking and crying louder than normal. WHy is my baby all of a sudden SUCH a handfulllllllll......I hope this is just puppy behavior and will cool down as he grows up...if not, i have my work cut out for me! Does anyone elses furbutt get into these kinda moods? I sware he is going through the "terrible two's" that a skin baby would do!!! but hes only 14 weeks old...please tell me they grown out of this!

| my puppy is doing the same thing. he is even bitting me. I don't know how to handle him. He runs around, eats everything, and even try to bite my feet. I try to ignore him so he doesn't think i am playing with him. It doesn't work. He has been doing this for the past couple of days. He wouldn't poop outside but did go on his pee pad. So weird. I didn't train him to pee/poop on pee pads. I have always train him outside..however we have a pee pad out in the kitchen for those late late night bathroom emergency. |

| Well since they age differently than we do , maybe he is in or near his terrible two's He's just having some fun , even thought to us it's not so fun My older dog was crazy most all day , and especially at night when she was a pup , but she did outgrow it.

| yess i totally understand where you are coming from. When he bites me I walk away and ignore him..he will chase after me and try biting..he does this crazy thing acting like I want to play with him..I will go and sit on the couch with my feet up on the couch so he can't get to them. He will try to jump up on the couch. He won't listen to me. He doesn't care and will go wherever he wants to. Crazy boy. His bathroom behavior is also going down hill too. aargh. What is wrong with my boy |

| For the biting - give a loud "yelp" and walk away and ignore him for a minute - his litter mates would do this......... it works if you use it consistently! For biting things he shouldn't......... you need to teach him the "leave" command. Tell him to leave whatever he's eating/chewing, if he doesn't use a water spray and give him a little squirt.......... definitely works, eventually you should be able to say leave it without the water........ when he leaves it give him his own toy to play with. Are you giving him anything that may be sugary to eat....... I used cheerioes (don't know if you have them over there) when training Rocky and he kept going hyper at nights. Stopped the cheerios and he stopped being hyper. |

| If its possible, i would put the lead on and take your pups for a walk, even if its a 10minute one. It makes all the difference to Molly, and she knows that when we get back home its time for bed. Make sure you walk somewhere well lit and safe of course. |

| I totally agree with this post. It sounds like your puppy is not getting enough exercise. I don't know if you work and he's alone during the day but even if he isn't a dog that isn't getting enough exercise will have to get his frustrations out somehow. It doesn't have to be a walk it can be throwing a toy for him to chase etc but they need some time to just be puppies |

| LOL .... I was just going to post this This morning I got up The boys were already up and awake .... that should have been my first clue They were extra rambunctious the whole morning and I had to watch them and stop them from gnawing on the Couch! The rugs! and just stop being extra awnry to each other The I had to go into my bedroom for a minute to get something and I don't let them go into that part of the house They have plenty of room for now so I block them at the beginning of the hallway They both wanted to be with me so BOTH OF THEM FORGOT THAT THEY ALWAYS USE THE PEE PADS IN THE KITCHEN!!!! I wanted to scream But I had to laugh ..... All I did was yell a surprised EH! when I saw the mess And they went running and I saw them peaking around the corner "Ooooh He's mad" They didn't come near me for a good 10 mins {sigh} They are a handful But still they are wonderful It's really not them ... it is us

| I think the point of the little spray of water is to get his attention and stop the immediate behaviour. I don't think it will make him scared of water, you're not dumping water on him or anything... just a quick squirt! I had a little squirt bottle for when Hiro would go after the cats. Now I use a penny can though. The water didn't work! lol

| i don't feed charlie anything sugarly. At least, I don't think I do. His potty/training treat used to be the begging bacon strips. Now I have switched over to the natural balance turkey roll. He gets a little piece for being good. I guess I will have to try the spray bottle and coins in a can. He ignores me when I tell him no or clap my hands. So maybe these other methods will work better on him. |
