| Grrr....Wallee is challenging again!!! Last weekend we had visitors and Wallee went for our friend's feet. He was growling and acting like he was going to bite..I yelled "NO" and he stopped. Tonight we had another man over and he tried the same thing..not once, but a few times. I immediately stepped in and yelled NO!!!!! He was challenging us with things he didn't want to give us for a while and we used the same process and he seemed to stop it...NOW THIS...ugggh...sure hope we can break him of this action...It's bad... Anyone else ever have this weird agression? Tonight the person was just standing putting on his coat. |

| Foot biting Yes my male dog does the same thing. He has a foot fetish and attacks feet if they come near him. It seems to be a reflex reaction and it appeared after a home move. I wonder if a mover stepped on him?? I know, he should have been confined to keep him safe, and he was most of the time. But it was not for 100 pc of the time and it could have happened. Otherwise I do not see why this behavior would suddenly appear. It is all over before I can react and appears to be hard to control. |

| Nothing has changed that I am aware of and as far as I know he has never been stepped on. Normally he is way tooo submissive. In fact if I reach for him he always backs up almost making me look like I have hit him (which I totally disagree with by the way and would never hurt an animal.) I put this behaviour down to the fact that it is me who does the brushing, face and teeth cleaning and any other thing he finds annoying. When you try to put on his clothing he puts down his head an crouches. But this, it is the total opposite of his personality. It sounds quite aggressive. |

YT 2000 Club Member | My JoJo will do that to my husband. He does not like him. He will bite at feet or pants if he wants us to play with him. I have not had a Yorkie do this behavior. JoJo sure knows how to get his way. If you cannot trust Wallee, just put him in another room if you have company over. My JoJO goes in the kitchen area when guests come if he starts to nip. |
