Beyond aggressive behavior Today I saw a side of my 13 week old female yorkie that has me very concerned. We have been working through her normal but constant puppy nipping and scratching but this behavior she showed today was far beyond that. I was trying to put her harness on to take her for a walk and she bared teeth, growled and visously bit my hand. This was definitely not "puppy play". She reacted the same way to the vet a few days ago. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have. |
Could she have a tender or sore area that hurts when touched? I know they are not born exhibiting such aggressive behavior, so that's why I ask. |
No sore or tender spots that I am aware of. I did have a firm hold on her because she was wiggling but not enough to have hurt her. |
It is very unusual behavior for a 13 week old puppy |
IMO, I would get her to obedience training as soon as possible. My Sammy did the same thing to me and to our vet and groomer. The advice I received was training, training and more training. Mostly I was trained :) but that worked and he turned out to be the best boy you could ever dream of having around. |
I had the same exact problem. only now my baby is a year and its a little more scary cause he's not a puppy any more. I found a friend willing to get bit and started working with him 4 or 5 times a day(only for 15 min). Thankfully it is working and we are seeing progress, just stick with it I know it's aggravating but it will get better.:thumbup: |
