My yorkie pup has issues!!
 

Hello I'm new to this yorkietalk.com. I have a 11 weeks old female yorkie. We got her when she's 9 weeks old. When we first saw her at the pet store, she was a quiet puppy who we all fall in love with. By the third day in our house. She start barking and biting everything. Lately she's being too aggressive and barking at us for no reason and running around the house like a crazy maniac. I don't know if she just wants to play or what's wrong with her. We start potty train her right away and she was being good on the first two days to pee on the pads. Then she start pee and poop everywhere in the house. I don't know what to do with her being so super hyperactive. Biting everything she sees, and barking for no reason. I need help!!!

Ahhh.....typical puppy behavior. She's perfectly fine. You have to be persistent and consistent. If she is peeing and pooping everywhere, confine her to a smaller area and only let her out for potty breaks. When you do, go to the area where you want her to potty and say "potty". Do this until she gets the hang of it.

As for the biting and barking, she is probably just testing you to see what she can get away with. When she bites, let out a yelp. That will startled her and let her know she is hurting you. Replace what she is biting with a chew toy.

As for barking, I'm still working on that one. Duchess will start barking at almost anything. I just usually tell her to shut up and she will until something else causes her to bark. For the most part, she doesn't go too crazy with barking though.

Welcome to YT and congrats on your new baby. Hyper, crazy baby, lol, yep, typical yorkie pup. Yorkies are very hyper pups, bursting with high energy. The biting you need to correct NOW, she bites, you say in FIRM voice NO BITING and give her a toy she can bite. This must be consistent command from everyone in your family. She is only a baby, it is up to you and your family to train proper behavior. You must be patient, and CONSISTENT. As for pad training as yavenay suggested, she MUST be confined to a small area where her pad is. When you let her out she MUST be supervised. If she pees or poops somewhere other then her pad, take her pad, place it on the pee so it will absorb the pee, put the pad back where it belongs, pick her up, place her on that pad and tell her pee pee on the pad (or what ever word to use for pee). when she poops off the pad, pick up the poop, place it on the pad, pick her up, place HER on the pad and tell her poo poo on the pad, again this must be CONSISTENT, she is just an 11 week old puppy, getting them to be 100% pad trained can take up to them be 5 months old. You MUST have patience and be CONSISTENT with pad training.
Barking lol, yorkies are known barkers, if a fly flies over Alaska they can hear it lol, and will bark. When she barks FIRMLY tell her no barking, no yelling, no shouting, just use a firm voice. A barking puppy is normal. remember, LIFE is all new to her, sights, smells, noise, all new in this big world . Good luck.

Some dogs aren't hyper, but have extreme OCD ( Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ). For instance some breeds, like Jack Russel's, are OCD. They see a ball and they can't think of anything else. It is a real disorder in humans, and I think it should be if not already is in dogs. Your yorkie might be suffering from not being able to see or hear anything else after something has caught their eye and mind. See if moving some things around the house help your yorkie.

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. For pad training, limit your puppy's freedom to a smallish area with the pad. Don't give her free run of the house until she is fully trained. When you can supervise, the area can be one room where you are. When you can't supervise, an xpen with the pad or a small room is best.

Yorkies tend to be energetic and feisty, especially when puppies. She is very young and testing boundaries with the biting. Also, she is likely teething. Give her safe things to chew on, which can include soft toys. Supervise and check toys for damage. Many Yorkies are toy destroyers and can get into trouble eating stuffing.

Teach her "no bite." Say it in a serious manner, but not angrily. You can also cross your arms across your chest, taking your hands away from the biting, and yelp like a dog would if bitten. If you are playing with her and she won't stop biting on command, get up and leave her. Withdrawing attention can be very effective for unwanted behavior.

For barking, you can try rattling a can with pennies and give the command "quiet" or "no bark."

Check YouTube for training videos for barking. There are some great ones.

Work on training daily. Puppies tend to learn things quickly. Use a single kibble or very small treat for each reward. Teach her basic commands like sit, stay, and so on. Working on training and having a basic daily routine has a calming effect. Try having a routine of meals, grooming, brief training sessions, play time, etc at the same time or intervals each day.

Play fetch for 5 - 15 minutes several times a day. A little bit of growling is normal for Yorkies while playing fetch. Zoomies, running around like crazy is also normal.

I had a pomeranian for 18 years. She was a good dog and she rarely barked and she's always quiet compared to my CoCo. But I guess no dog the same. Thanks for all the advice everyone. I didn't know yorkie was known barkers but now we know. We have a big house and its really hard to limit her running space. But usually when we stay in one room to watch tv we tend to keep her with us in that room and use gates to block all the access to other rooms. I have to be constantly on her and keep an eye on her when she start sniffing around and as soon as we see her do that we place her on the pads. We will get her fix as soon as the vet said its ok. Hopefully that will eliminate some of the potty issues or marking. Regarding about biting issues, we have some chewing toys including the kong which the vet recommended. It does take her away from chewing or biting us. She's very aggressive with my son who's 8 years old. She constantly biting, attacking and barking at him. And once in awhile she will be aggressive with us too. She bark and biting us like we're hurting her. I'm thinking about a dog trainer to help us to train her. Not sure if that's a good idea.
