Yorkie Yakker | PLEASE HELP!! Turning devilish!! So my shobi is 7 months now, male and not neutered yet. However he has gotten really aggressive the last week and a half. Im not sure what to do. If he chews something or does even the slightest thing for my to say " NO SHOBI" he loses it. Starts barking nonstop and will jump at me and nip at me!!! By the time i catch him im so out of breath.. I have patted his butt which i know isnt what i should be doin and when i do that he stops and starts licking and wont leave me for a while. So he obviously knows hes doing wrong. But I DONT like to do that but nothing else is working. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!! PLEASE!! I DONT WANNA BE A BAD MOMMA |

| Someone with more knowledge and experience than I have can answer whether this behavior is being fueled by hormones. Perhaps now is the time to have him neutered. When you tell him "no" and he starts barking at you, try withdrawing your attention. Pretend he doesn't exist until he calms down. |

| Have you done any obedience/trick training? Nuetering can help, but training is almost always the answer.

| I agree. Teach your boy to sit first and train him to sit calmly before you feed him, before you leash him for a walk, and before he gets your full attention. |

| I've said it a hundred times since we got Reg "We should have named him Lucifer" it honestly suits him so much better. In the best way possible of course. |
