Aggressive behavior :animal36 Brownie is 18 months old and until now has been sweet, cuddly and adorable. He lately has been showing very aggressive behavier, even to people he knows. He was given to me when he was 11 months old and until now welcomed all into the house (although with continual and annoying barking) but has started showing some unfriendly traits towards people, even those he's known since he came to us. We have had little luck with 'accidents' even trying to schedule his outings very frequently during the day, but sometimes he will wait to come inside to do what he was outside for! Any suggestions? All help will be appreciated! |
Lolita is aggressive with our sons dog but not people. We have had great success with pennies in a pop can. We shake them at first hint of aggression and she stops. Hope this helps. |

Why some Yorkies get this way and other's don't remains a mystery to me. It is so important to be Alpha in your household. There is a book called Nothing In Life Is Free. This book has helped me so much with Buddy. We cuddle them and treat them as babies and that's not at all what they need. They needed to be treated like dogs because that's what they are. I went through this with Buddy. I got him at 14wks and gave him nothing but love, socialized him with every dog in the neighborhood and people as well. He's never been aggressive with people, loves little children but big dogs he'll go after still today, 4yrs later. You must make him work for everything given to him. Sit before eating, sit before playing, sit before going outdoors. You have to take control of his life. Show him your the boss at all times. Aggressiveness can show up in many ways. Toy guarding, food guarding etc. I went threw it all. NILIF is the answer to everyone's prayer's if they have a dog showing agressiveness. Buddy is loving a cuddle bug and enjoys people company but if allowed to get away with anything will glady take over once again. It's very much like raising a child. You pamper them they become brats you take control and they become productive member's of the family. Hard to belive that such a small creature can make you work so hard:p But that's a Yorkie for you. If I knew then what I found out over these last five years I would have bought a parakeet:D |

I also made Emily work for everything. A trainer told me to have her do a long down for fifteen minutes every day. In the beginning, I had to literally hold her in place. The vet was the one who told me that one. Both the trainer and the vet made me realize that Emily was going to be completely out of control if I didn't. Yorkies can be very obstinate little dogs. By the way, she is now two years old and a little sweetheart with dogs and people.:aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork |
