| Is She a Puppy or Mentally Challenged? My Yorkie, Lily, seems perfectly normal at times and other times she will take off running like a wild animal! She nips at me constantly, not at my husband; what's up with that? She is 7 months old, but just does not seem to be taming down any at all. Can you believe that she jumps all baby gates! How do I control her? She is house trained (we haven't had any really cold/snow/ice yet) not sure how she is going to do with that. |

| She sounds like a normal yorkie puppy to me and its great that she is potty trained because yorkies are hard to house train

| Hehehe. Riley learned how to jump the baby gates too. I was so afraid he would get hurt so I decided to take them down. Lol. Riley has his crazy moments. He will start at one end of the house and run to the other end over and over and over and over. Hes so funny. |

| I agree, be happy she is housebroken already. That is huge for a yorkie. Taking off running like a wild animal is normal. I love when Gus does that. They make extra tall gates for jumpers and age will come her down. It took Gus three years but it did happen. He was super hyper.

| Yep, in layman's terms, it's known as "Demented Puppy Syndrome". Zoomies is one of my favorite symptoms.It provides us with much entertainment. Just enjoy every crazy minute, lauren

No Longer a Member | We love it when Chloe gets like that. Lauren, I have permanently "stolen" your term "zoomies" because it is the perfect word for when they get going around the coffee table at warp speed! LOL |

| LOL The zoomies are all day here with molly, she is only 7 1/2 mths, so i know what you mean, my other 3 are much more laid back, but molly is a handful, always on the hunt for something, and wants to play nonstop

| Kalina never jumped the baby gate, she just ate her way right through it!! It was her way of saying she wanted to have full run of the house. And now she does, because she is completely trained at 7 months. She doesn't act nearly as crazy as your puppy but I think your puppy is normal. There are degrees of craziness with Yorkies. Enjoy your puppy!!
