Bad owners! :eek: I choose B- Hands down. I feel bad for the dog(s). |
Big B from me! The owners are morons! |
Thanks guys, i think we agree its poor parenting at the very least. Post #5 in this thread just got approved and showed up, can you tell me what you think of the video in post #5? The dog acts like he owns the puppy and his owners, awful behavior. But is this ultimately again the owners fault? |
These videos are ridiculous, quite frankly. The owners have the fault here and as seen in the video are encouraging such behavior. These are poorly trained pups. I'm sorry but I've got 3 and that would be the day any of them would behave like this. The anklebiting stereotype is just that... |
This is one of the strangest threads I've seen, what is the actual intent here? With the thousands of Yorkie Videos (most of them good well behaved scenarios) did you elect to pull and post these? Surely you looked at the good ones too? I'm just curious as to why you went looking for these and then post and ask us to give an opinion? |
All breeds of pet dogs aggress and behave badly at times and it's almost always related to lack of strong leadership, training and boundaries and not the dog's temperament per se. |

It sounds like the same owner and dog in all 3 videos. They obviously haven't trained this dog well and think it's funny when it acts aggressive. That's disturbing. I've never had a yorkie act like that. As puppies I would get them used to me touching them and their food while they were eating and I also would take toys away that they were playing with or chewing on. I've never had one growl at me, if I did I sure wouldn't find it funny. |
wow- this poor yorkie! I have to say B hands down. Any dog can get possessive over things (or other animals) if you let them or if they were treated in a way that allowed for it. A dog (especially if gotten as a puppy) is mostly a reflection of the time and effort put in by it's owner. Are my dogs the best behaved in the world? No, but they would never act like this and if they did I would seek expert training advice for positive reinforcement training to help fix this before it got worse. |
on a side note if a dog is doing a behavior (biting, growling ect) and you laugh, smile, and pet the dog after the behavior you are telling the dog that the behavior is acceptable and good. Dogs don't understand the words you are saying as much as they understand the tone and facial expressions you use when saying them |
The video in post #5 is the same dog, too. So you are pulling all the videos of this one, badly behaved, dog. Why so? Yes, all of that is because he was never given boundaries. Wouldn't matter what breed he was. If you want more examples of yorkie behavior and temperament, try these: or even... *Note* I purposely included some well known Yorkies from Yorkie Talk :D |
Ok, those videos that you found are extremes caused by bad owners. I will admit these vids make the breed look pretty bad, but if you take the time to properly train the pup it will pay off. It isn't easy, I struggled with Henri a few times but now he is a well behaved boy. All it takes is time and patience, don't let these extremes scare you off:) If you truly feel that Yorkies aren't for you then look into other breeds, but remember that any dog can turn into a little monster when not properly cared for and trained. |
I will have to say B for me also |
Thanks all for the reassuring responses. I watch too many tv shows (cesar milan)and see bad stereotypes examples of breeds. There is no ulterior motive here, was genuinely curious if some of this behavior is common or if it all falls on the owner. I don't have a ton of first hand experience with yorkies which is why I asked. I am also interested in dog psychology and am beginning to realize it is mostly how they are raised. |
