| Fighting I've posted this before but for those new ones having trouble with their two Yorkies fighting I have found a good book that is helping us. The title is: "Feeling Outnumbered? How To Manage and Enjoy Your Multi-Dog Household" written by Karen B. London, Ph.D. and Patricia B. McConnell, Ph.D. It's just a small booklet with 45 pages so it's a fast read but I've gone back to it many times. You have to read it all the way through to get the FULL benefit of the book. If your local book store does have it, ask them to order it for you.

| Sounds like a great book for the multi-Yorkie family! Do they recommend the "leader of the pack" theory, where one is top dog and the rest follow? |

| YOU need to be the "leader of the pack" from what I've been reading lately. YOU feed them, YOU train them, YOU walk them,, YOU discipline them, and YOU give them love & affection, etc. If you are doing ALL those things, they will learn that YOU are their leader . IF you do not do these things, then one of them will take over as the leader of the pack. Between the dogs themselves, they will figure out which one is the dominant one.
