| 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.

| 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? |

| 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.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | 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 |

| 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 |
