I would take him to a good obedience class. Talk to the instructor and let them know that he is starting to be nippy. See what things they recommend before you pay for a class. If you don't like them, call another.

Your little guy is probably becoming territorial over you and his home. I have found many useful tips from Welcome to Cesar Millan's Official Web Site | Cesar Millan . I would look at the info on you becoming a pack leader. You need to establish dominance so the pup will accept your rules/commands.

I am not sure what your intention is. Maybe it is just me, but your post is very RUDE and uncalled for.

Rude ? He is telling the truth. It's not a joke, it's serious. What if the next time he bites a male that is a child

would that be funny also? I think you need to take action immediately so that this never happens again. Next time it might be with the wrong person he bites and you can loose your baby

Good Luck

John, since you are in Colorado I figured I would post for reference

The Meaning of a “Dangerous Dog under Colorado's Dangerous Dog Statue:

•Under Colorado’s Dangerous Dog Statute, “bodily injury” means any physical injury that results in severe bruising, muscle tears, or skin lacerations that requires professional medical treatment, or any physical injury that requires corrective or cosmetic surgery.
•Under Colorado law, “serious bodily injury” means an injury that involves a substantial risk of death, serious permanent disfigurement, loss or impairment of a bodily function or organ, or a break, fracture or second- or third-degree burn.

The statute, however, outlines the following circumstances where a dog owner will not be liable for a dog-bite injury:
•In cases where the injury occurred while the victim was a trespasser on public or private property;
•In cases where the injury occurred while the victim was on the dog owner’s property and the property was clearly and conspicuously marked with one or more posted signs stating, “No trespassing,” or “Beware of Dog;”
•In cases where the dog was being used by a peace officer or military personnel for official duties;
•In cases where the victim knowingly provoked the dog;
•In cases where the victim was a veterinary health-care worker, dog groomer, humane agency staff person, professional dog handler, trainer, or dog show judge acting in the performance of his or her respective duties;

In all seriousness, I think that she came here looking for help and not someone to threaten that her puppy is going to be taken away and euthanized. Colorado's law's simply don't state what the post eluded to. In many states, she could very simply state that he made her feel threatened and he would be arrested for assault (just see TX law). There are many sides to the story. Esp if the ex is abusive and it is documented.

If you have a pup and it has never nipped or ripped up something, peed on the floor than you must have a stuffed animal

I have have yorkies for almost 20 years and have always been able to train them despite any challenge that comes along. I feel that they are just like children. If you child steals or toddler bites you don't euthanize them. This is a very trainable pup that is just displaying some guarding / pack issues (that are obviously not ok). He just needs to know whom is in charge and that he can't nip. If you have suggestions please be part of the solution. There is no need to euthanize or put yet another animal in a shelter to be possibly destroyed.

Nope, the dog didnt break the skin. Dogs know bad people if you ask me.

Yes, they do. They sense it. We feel it in our "gut." Anyway, anytime Kacee doesn't want someone to pet her (or whatever) I never force the issue. I trust her instinct.
