If you're having so many issues he may need to be in a one dog home and good luck. I feel sorry for him and maybe he's overwhelmed with the new additions ?

That's true too V!
Are ANY of the other dogs neutered????

[browniesmom622]

these are her posts sorry if im reading it wrong
but if her husband wanted remmie and now he wants another dog and get rid of him that unfair again if im reading this wrong

just dont know how to do it. but my husband wnated a dog so i decided to find a home for remmie, found a nice lady in pa that wanted him

i did want him the only reason i was rehoming him was because my husband wanted a dog of his own. and you arent supposed to have more than 3 dogs in the county i live in

i got remmie with the intent of keeping him forever, but it wasnt fair to my husband that i have 3 yorkies and he cant have any dogs of his own. and i found that it was fair to rehome remmie to people i knew or a good home and let my husband get whatever he wanted.

these are her posts in this thread
im sorry but it really stood out to me
i say just find a new home where he is really wanted
sorry to be harsh

[JACKSON'S MOMMY]

However it went or however she typed it the point is he has the dog and she has to get Remmie to act right or rehome him

[sashajade]

this problem can be sorted, when i got my scampi i took some food away from him and he bit me so i bit him back on the neck while holding him on his back, he was about 4 months at the time and in the 15 years of his life he NEVER bit me, growled at me, walked through a door b4 me, or kept eye contact for very long with me, he knew i was top dog well ether that or he thought i was mad lol
annie was given to me cos she bit a little boy on the face twice, the lady told me that annie had always been like this and she was now 5 years old and no matter what they did she did what she wanted, in half an hour of having annie she bit all 3 of my yorkies and the cat, i told her NO and stode over her and did the same over the next few weeks when she bit them, i also gave her her food and then took it away and pretended to eat it as the pack leader eats first, the first few times she wasnt happy about this but with time she stopped biting the others never growled, let me take her food out of her mouth, and she loved my 5 year old niece to bits. problem sorted
if hes marking get him done, get a pet spray that smells nasty to dogs and spray that the places he has marked, do the thing with the food someone else told you about, stand at a door and make him wait till you walk through it, look him in the eye and dont loose eye contact till he looks away and if he growls or bites you or doesnt do what you want him to do put him on his back.
if hes getting in the trash put it somewhere he cant get it or set him up by putting something in it that tastes really sour so he gets a bad experence with doing it or when you find him in the trash make a sound with something that he wont like.
good luck

You can't have 4 dogs so why don't you go ahead and post him and maybe someone will take him this weekend, unless your going to rehome your husbands dog.. I am praying that remmy gets a great home soon....

[Sugar's Mom]

Poor little Remmie. he needs a good home where he can be loved and cherished and king of the house.

[daisysis]

Has some one beat or teased Remmie.. ????
sounds like something awlful has happened to him
Some times my hubby teases my babies the wrong way
and that really makes me upset and it can cause aggression

this is how maggie is. If I tell her no for something or if one of the other dogs gets onto her, she will lay on her back and put her ears back...the ears being back is how she shows she is being submissive. and when it is me correcting her, she will lick me afterward. i think someone said that was a form of apologizing...I agree. she definitely submits and apologizes. You def. have to show that you are the pack leader and spanking is not the way to do it. making them submit is. I completely agree. I think you should try this for a while before rehoming him. If you are only rehoming him because your hubby wants a dog, I think that is the wrong reason to rehome. if you are doing it because you can't control him, you need to find someone that can. but if it is a selfish reason like your husband wanting a dog, that's just wrong and completely unfair. he should consider the dogs you currently have to be his as well. to me, that would be like my husband wanting me to get rid of my daughter because she is not his and he wants one of his own. maybe that is a little more drastic but I consider my dogs to be a part of my family. anyway...i didn't mean to get this long winded, i just hope you can realize what needs to be done and give him a chance to change. My husbands dog was 10 years old when I came into the picture and he considers me the pack leader...even after being as old as he was. he totally respects me and i have been able to break all of his bad habits...barking, pottying in the house, eating other dogs food, etc. he is a great well behaved dog now. it can be done...put your wolf suit on and work really hard at establishing who is leading the pack in your house and you will reap the rewards.

I'm so sorry that you and Remmie are at odds. I have a similar frustration here, too. My 25lb mix, Mozart is the sweetest, most adoring 12 y/o guy. But, he used to raid the trash a lot (before we started feeding RAW - me thinks he wasn't getting enough nutrition on the kibble), and when I would find him, I of course would pull him out, with teeth barred and him lashing out at me. He doesn't raid the trash anymore, but there are occasions when he will challenge me. Well, one canNOT have a 25lb dog in a disobedient mode! Watching Cesar, I've learned to take him down to the floor by his scruff, and HOLD him there, until all aggression is gone, and he is calm. If he growls at all, tighten the grip - not to injure, of course - just to let him know that's NOT the way to be released! When he's calm, he is released. And, yes...he MUST lick me afterward.

I agree, they are all different in temperament and should be handled accordingly. I must be careful with Miss Abbie, as I can break her heart just by speaking strongly.

And, here's a mystery: this same pooch is askeert of a 6lb yorkie!

[sweetr72]

Just wanted to add that just because your hubby gets a dog for himself dosent mean it will bond to him. I was the one to make the decision to get my three dogs, with my hubbys approval of course, and two of the three are daddy's girls...Reece (our boy) is mommys boy...I would have never thought it would turn out this way but its the way it is!! Just because he gets a dog for "himself" doesnt mean it wont bond to only you...he might as well try to bond with a dog you already have?? Why add more uncertainty??

I didn't read the entire thread, but personally, (and I'm sorry if you think this sounds harsh) it sounds like you are just looking for an excuse to get rid of him, haven't you posted him for sale on here before?

As for as the marking and aggression, isn't that kinda your fault? If he was spayed (and you have said you wouldn't use him for breeding because of his size), he probably wouldn't mark or be as aggressive.

Im sorry hes acting out, But something must be making him do this, If you raised him from a puppy then why would he change? I dont know any thing about his and mine, Im married and we have 4 dogs. They are family whats mine is also my husbands there for my dogs are his and his are mine,.
You should never hit a dog even if its not very hard, you will lose the trust in him/her very fast. I would never hit my dogs and I dont think that they would never bite me. some thing must be wrong. I would try and rehome him. That way you wont be so frustrated with him and he will be happy.

[tammy8833]

first off i never said that remmie was my husbands dog first then he wanted another!!!

the yorkies are mine my husband likes bigger dogs and wanted a bigger dog! something he can bond with and take to work in the truck! so you mis read it all wrong! the only one i would part with is remmie not because od the issues stated today but becuase i do want to breed one day and yes as i stated in other threads i cant breed him! so instead of dumping him in a shelter like other people, i was working on rehoming him! and yes i have posted before about selling him or rehoming because i felt bad that my husband wanted a dog he couldnt have because i had too many!

and no i dont have all of mine fixed, for my own personal reasons
1.) little girl is 5lbs and that worries me she also have a treachea problem so no i want even attempt to put her under
2.) gidget who i refer to as my "perfect" yorkie i would like to work on breeding one day and if she gets around 6lbs then i would feel comfortable with breeding her provided she stays healthy
3) my husbands dog came fixed because he is not standard and i believe
4) remmie i kept putting remmie off hoping he wouldnt get so big but he did, then about a month ago my husband was laid off. and when i came to the conclusion of rehoming him his adoption fee was not large so that someone else could afford to fix him if they chose to do so

any other questions?!?!

i like others did not come on this site to get bashed and too many of you enjoy doing that even when you mis read soemthing i previously wrote and think you caught me somewhere.. whatever

Thank you too all who gave advice / support i did want to say that this even i was working with remmie making him submit before anything, whenever he would growl at the other dogs, or before he ate, because he was growling again..i plan on working with him but if i do decided to rehome him i will not post here.

i have been on this website for over a year now and i am no longer happy with it. i respected some posts, appreciated others and was upset with others.

Yes some people come on here angry when they write a post and other may take things the wrong way or get to invovled with it. and they do they're research to make others look bad, or to catch them in a lie or whatever. i personally dont have time for that high school bs.

i have a home a child a career 4 dogs and a husband not including my day to day work. i am also an adult who knows right from wrong and i am very responsible. becuause i dont spay/neutred my pets doesnt mean i dont do right by them. like i have said in a lot of threads dont judge everyone. reading these post is like reading cliff notes of someones story, you dont get the whole story.

there are too many judgemental, narrowminded people who have nothing better to do with there time. up on till now for the last year yorkie talk was my homepage my husband makes fun about me because of it, and i would stay on for hours..but im done with it

some of what im saying might be messed up but im really dissappointed

signing off...
