About three weeks ago I bought a small (3.2lb) 7 month old male Yorkie. I named him Jack. He is the sweetest, cuddliest little guy except for one issue. Every time someone leans over me or if I'm sitting down and my husband leans over to kiss me he growls and starts viciously nipping. It is getting progressively worse and is now to the point where my husband, who takes him out potty every morning before he goes to work, gets attacked every time he wakes him up to take him out. I did have him neutered about a week and a half ago. I'm at a loss on how to correct this behavior. Obviously something must of happened to him at some point in his life that sets this off so I've been trying to show him that I'm ok and that no one is hurting me but it's just not working. We've given him time outs in the kennel as well which seems to make no difference. I would appreciate any advise you could give me on how to deter this behavior. Thanks in advance :animal-pa |
