On a few of It's Me Or The Dog , Victoria Stillwell has come into homes where families have had dogs with extreme aggression issues, much like you have described in your Yorkie puppy. In these cases , She has taken these dogs, along with the owners to the vet. Checking for specific medical reasons that could contribute to dog agressive behavior. One that I remember was Thyroid disorder. I would have your vet due a CBC on your pup and ask about what other medical conditions would cause extreme agression in cannines . Rocky needs to be tested for them. This might not all be behavioral . Especially , because his aggressiveness has occured at such a young age + he had been fine for the first couple of months you had him. This makes me supicious that their could be medical implications that need to be addressed. I know how difficult it is to try and balance your own medical needs and then trying to handle a pup who has turned into a unbalanced , biting, unsocial , creature. I am on complete disability myself . My Yorkie was quite young the first time I had to be hospitalized, when I came home she was all over me, was not scared at all. She actually licks my pain away .That is how sensitve she is. She also stayed with me in my bed when I could not get up , never leaving my side. It is the temperment of each dog that comes into play .Not all dogs are made the same way, just like us humans. My other puppy , is very different then my Yorkie. She is more assertive, and will bite , when being brushed, or try taking a toy away from her ! She's 4 months old . I just try to be patient with the puppy, and tolerate her aggressive behavior, and not allow her to think she is in charge .I have been bitten, many times though, and it has broken the skin. I know what that is like, however , I am working throug it with her. She is not always this way, only during brushing, she is also very Food motivated .This helps me train her and calm her too. Does Rocky respond to food motivations? This can be a very effective training tool. Starting out slowly, then gradully working up to more difficult training ? I wish you the best, & hope that something can benifit Rocky and help you be able to keep him . If not , at last resort a Yorkie rescue would be in the best interest of Rocky. |
Why was the member banned? |

I was curious about that myself, as to why the member was banned. I'm a group owner of another group, nothing to do with Yorkies, but still a group owner, and so I'm really curious what rule was broken to the point of banning the member, and was this the first issue that caused the ban or had there been several other times where counseling had been required with prior notification that if it happened again banning would be the only option? |
She had one post deleted so she must have said something innappropriate. I didnt see it to know how bad it was |
I have a feeling it might have been someone who was banned under another name prior and came back with a new personality/SN. The story was way out out there and over the top but I don't think that had anything to do with being banned. You don't get BANNED for saying something inappropriate--you are suspended and warned more than once so it must have been something much more. I felt bad expressing what I really felt but if you look back over the few other posts her issue was growing~if it was real at all. It is always upsetting when I see so many members trying to be helpful and offering such kindness to someone who is just looking for trouble. :( |

I read the post that was deleted and personally i don't think she should have been banned for that (if that was the reason she was banned). She was right. much worse has been said here before without people being banned |

I'm very pleased to have read your answers. See, I run a chronic pain group. So when I heard of her problems, I told her about it. This information is very important information for me. I've dealt with trolls, and members who sign up under false names, and such. I doubt it was a single post that caused the ban. Thanks for your inputs and comments. Reva PS - Anyone here with chronic pain is welcome to talk to me about the CP group. Not trying to advertise by any means, but pain - 24/7 = is horrible. Just send me a private message for more information. I have found that my Yorkie is good medicine for me. He knows when I don't feel well, and he makes me feel better he is so full of love. It was one of my group members that told me about this group - I'm so happy to have found YT! Reva - Smokie's mama :aimeeyork |
I feel really bad for this pup. If you look back at the OP posts, she has been having trouble with him from the start. I hope things can turn around for her and Rocky, and if not, I hope a Yorkie Rescue will take him... I really hope he doesn't get dumped at the pound :( :( :( |

What in the world did she mean by saying this...it's not God's fault her dogs a terror, it's her and her families fault for not training it better and fixing the problems before they started...:mad: |
why was she banned?? does she have another post somewhere else? |
any updates? |
Look of you can not manage your dog get him into a rescue. As for those that say it is your fault well it maybe in part but there are those dogs that have a fear gene running through lines and it leads to aggression. Nothing you can do about gene pool. So do what is best for you family and rocky and do not let what some post here bother you. unless they live with a truly aggressive dog they do not get it and will not get what it takes out of you. As for the angry I get it totally the why the heck an I getting hit up side the head and I am a good person...not fair it is not fair at all. It be better to go find a good K9 aggression board that understands the true nature of aggression. That will not happen here. JL |
Rockybaby, I'm glad to see you back and hope you find some of the experienced trainers on here helpful - I know I have!! Dog training is *not* easy, and I know that it can be very frustrating. But what I also want to say is that we make great efforts to treat *all* members fairly here - there is no "elite crowd" that gets treated differently. I appreciate you being here just as I do every member :). If you ever feel you're being treated unfairly, please PM me - I'm always here for you if you need to discuss/vent. :) |
I think getting him neutered is an excellent Idea. I have not read this entire thread so this may have been mentioned before, Trying catching a few episodes of The Dog Whisperer. He is a dog psycologist and can help you to figure out why he is aggressive and show you how to work on those issues and to develop trust in you, even if he has fear aggression. If you do not get the National Geographic Channel, you can go to his website, Welcome to Cesar Millan's Official Web Site. Good luck, I think with some love and understanding and patience he will come around. |
Speaking of books, I HIGHLY recommend The Loved Dog by trainer Tamar Geller. :) |
well you are new so I won't touch the 'theory's' people suggested - but I will say this - that really DOES happen like WileysMom just said - there's no elite crowd here - we're here because we love our dogs. The issue you may have had was cussing out someone maybe ? Since kids read this site to - it's pretty much not allowed though I know many times I've wanted to post words my mind was REALLY thinking and had to substitute. You just can't cuss anyone out. Since your yorkie is from a mill then he really doesn't know bad behavior vs good behavior - and really doesn't know about bathroom issues because he probably spent his short life caged 24/7....poor guy..... You need to teach him. You got good advise here - all the best to you. |

He's going to associate that playpen with living in a tiny cage. Maybe try an ex-pen where he is still with you yet not enclosed like a mill cage. Not to sound awful - but you seem REALLY stressed out. I'm sorry for your illness but dogs do sense stress and flipping out over his behavior will never help him - it may just make him worse. He needs patience and consistency....if that doesn't work for you - then maybe you should think of re-homing him so someone can work with him - your plate just may be too full to handle a puppy, |

But seeing as he was never in a stable pack of dogs, he does not know how to be a good pack leader. So now what you have is instasbility trying to control instability. Not good. I think even Cesar would agree, that in your circumstances, it might be better to get a more stable dog. You already have more stress than someone your age should have to deal with, the added stress of an unstable dog is probably not what is best for you at this time. May the Lord make you strong enough to make the right decision. |
