Aggressive towards our other yorkie and cat I'm very new to this website, and I joined this because I really need some help regarding my pets. First I will explain my situation. I am 13 living with my mom, 2 yorkies and a cat in a small apartment. My mom is not very willing to train our 2 yorkies so they can have better lives, and make our lives and our cat's life a little better as well, as she believes our dogs are untrainable since they are both 6-7 years old. We got our first dog (Alvin) from a breeder, unfortunately, when I was 6 years old. He was a puppy then. One year later I begged my Grandma to get another yorkie puppy (Bear) from breeders selling them outside of a grocery store. Bad decision. For starters, neither of them were ever neutered. Which now enrages me, and I KNOW my mom is not going to neuter them now, even if I did tell her it could solve some of our issues. Now, the issue is Bear is aggressive towards Alvin and sometimes our cat. When he's aggressive towards the cat, it's because it was provoked. (Our cat likes to sneak up on the dogs and gently swat them, he never hurts them, he is just playing). It's another story with Alvin. If Alvin walks past him, he barks or growls. If Alvin tries to eat from their food bowls he growls/snaps at him. If we are playing with Alvin and Bear will sometimes try to get the toy from him and become really aggressive... they have hurt each other once or twice. Just today our cat snuck up on bear and bear attacked him. That's where I draw the line. It really upsets me when I see my cat get snapped at. That's my baby. We adopted our cat less than a year ago and I want him to have a good life. I don't want to make the same mistakes with him that we made with our dogs. Our dogs were not properly potty trained as puppies either. I have considered asking my mom about rehoming Bear not only because he's causing Alvin and our cat and US stress he always seems miserable. He never wants to play. He will only snatch up a toy then drop it if Alvin was going for it. He's always angry and barking. I feel so bad. He doesn't have a good life and it makes me so sad. I don't know what to do. Someone please help.. |
