[yorkie mad]

your puppy is only 3-4 mths old right? Thats not being mean what hes doing , its learning and you need to be the teacher.If you think its rough play tell him no but I asure you at that young age it certainly isn't being mean.

This is what puppies do. It is important you stay calm and direct him to something else.

Sorry your going through this, but this is what those puppies usually are like, they are taken from mom way to soon, who knows when he was taken, it could of been sooner then you know and he was not socialized. This is the chance you take making a purchase from a place like that. All you can do it try to correct him but he is so young still and a baby, they bite and play hard.
My Lola is 11 months and when she plays she bites and growls and sounds like she is mad, shes not she is only playing!

I don't believe that their is something wrong with Coby, I dont think you should blame him coming from a puppy mill on his actions. He is a puppy and this is how puppies act. You need to show him discipline. Don't let him get away with this type of behavior. You need to show him who is boss now before he does get out of hand.. How much does he weigh?? I have a hard time believeing that you cant control him. When he does something you dont want him to do tell him no and take him away from the thing that he is doing. when he jumps on your daughter tell him no and tell your daughter ro walk away and ignore him. when he bites her tell him no and take him away or give him something to bite.. a toy, bully stick. I think you should get a puppy training book of some sort or google how to train your puppy. Dont be scared to tell him no, I think thats what it is coming down to.

If you honeslty think he is being too rough, tell him no. Dont let him bite your hands either, that shows him that it is ok to bite hands. Always play with a toy so he knows better

[star28c]

oh that sounds like a good idea a puppy traning book

[jmdt]

What I did was when they want to bite like that I give them a bone or something to chew. He is not going to hve this personality forever. You are the one raising him. He looks you to teach him right from wrong just like children. When he bites your feet tell him , NO in a stern voice. I think he just doesn't know how to play nice so to speak. You have to teach him by giving rewards for good behavior. When he is sitting nice on your lap say good boy. When he is playing nice praise him. Don't give in to bad behavior. When he chases your daughter. Maybe sit her down and let her play with him with a rope or something. If she runs away from him he will chase her.

Yes I think he is playing even so you do need to put some ground rules down. Like yorkie mama 22 said he hasn't had much socialization and hasn't learnt manners from his mommy, so its down to you. Believe me it will be worth it ,

Consider it playing, however, always be ready to repremand him when
he uses his mouth on your skin. Gently hold his mouth closed and tell
he no biting. Be careful because you have to be gentle then kiss his
head. Let him know you are in charge always but show affection
also. Buddy was like this also and I was nervous never seeing a puppy
so aggressive. He's 5 and still plays like that growling and shaking his
head from side to side. It looks intimidating but he's not. When I get
down on the floor with him he cuddles next to me with his toy. It his
way of getting what he wants It's important to know when they
are playing and when they mean business. This only comes with time.
It's up to you to know the difference.

Sorry. It is also very important that when they are playing with a toy that you take it from him then give it back he will know that you aren't a threat. I do this with my babies all the time. Even when they are eating a bone. I will take it from them look at and then give it right back. Now they trust that they will get it back and won't be agressive toward their things. They will share nice. This really isn't rocket science you know. If you can raise a child you can do this. Alot of the training is similar. good luck!!
