Hello YorkieTalk Friends! 1 Attachment(s) Thank you for allowing me to join YorkieTalk.com I arrived upon this site searching for solutions for Jaxx's unexpected aggressive outburst. He is a rescue male Yorkie almost two years old. He is scheduled for neutering this month. Jaxx joined our family just two months ago, mid-November 2014. Our furchild, Rascal (very large black lab) passed away this past July. Only having experiences with larger, more laid back breeds, I look forward to learning from and sharing in discussions. Jaxx did not have a very loving home before, suffered physical abuse, and had absolutely no "house manners." I am proud to say he is now housebroken (other than marking, fingers crossed nurturing takes care of that!) and learning it's okay to trust his human family. I know it's going to be a life long journey for him, but very happy he is part of our family! :animal-pa |
Awww, bless your huge heart for taking in this little rescue fella. He sounds so loved and accepted - and I know he will flourish under your care and love! :) |
Welcome! What a cutie Jaxx is. Give it some time, 2 months isn't very long. Some of my rescues have taken up to a year to get fully comfortable with us. Neutering should help. I'm sure other members will come on and have suggestions too. Just be consistent with him, be calm and go at his pace. Yorkies are very smart, he'll figure it out and have you trained in no time. :rolleyes::p:D |
Welcome to You and Jax. Bless you for rescuing him. Rescues are special little ones to me. |
Welcome to YT, Jaxx is adorable. I rescued a 2 1/2 y/o surrendered yorkie. He came from a loving family, was / is spoiled rotten from his prev. family, I of course have added to his spoilness lol. Ihave him 14 months now, Cody is very dog aggressive, I have to assume his prev. owner did not socialize him with other dogs. I took him to obedience training as aggression can be a very serious safety issue for him and myself. They taught me how to TRY to control this behavior, it is now up to me to work with the tools they taught me. Unfortunately due to winter setting in I have not been able to start on my own to train him. He is not leash walked a lot. I live in a community, there are not many dogs walked, all are in back yards. I have to drive to town, go to a pet supply shop where there may be other dogs coming and going, then work on his behavior. Training would be a lot faster and easier if I lived in a city where many dogs were leash walked. My trainer told me, I may never get him to be non-aggressive, but I would be able to control his behavior. When the weather gets better,we will start our training. Thank you for rescuing. |
How could you not fall in love with that face?! All happiness for you both! |
Thank you very much for the welcoming and encouraging words. |
