dawn EXCUSE ME!!

see thats it !! thats why i refuse to cont being on this site!

its people like you that ruin it for others

thanks!!

I dont think its people like me that ruin a site lol...I see you dont want a dog that has gotten to big to breed, bites you, and you arent happy with him...sell him....fine...I could care less really. Its easy to see you arent going to find peace with this dog. What happens if the same thing happens with a different BIGGER breed dog? Why not just keep the ones you have and be happy with that. I am not trying to start anything...I just dont understand your reasoning and question it? Instead of investing more money into another dog, why not invest in some professional training for Remmie and he can be BOTH you AND your husbands dog. You cant just say oops I over bought in dogs and now hubby wants one too so we will get rid of the bad one instead of investing time into him and trying to make him a better dog that we both can love. Big or small dogs are dogs filled with love for ALL members of the family..

Tammy,
Your right it is very easy to to misunderstand "cliff notes" of peoples lives and postings, AND there ARE certain people who just sit back and wait to pounce on others and catch them in lies and to just instigate and start somethng BUT I do believe it is in the best intrest of the dog. If you came here and saw your own post but it was someone else you would feel the disappointment in the OP too. I mean I think you are trying to justify rehoming Remmie with 101 other reasons other than the REAL truth. Only you know what that REAL TRUTH is and I am not going to sit here and try and tell you what it is. Maybe because you know you are a genuinely good person you don't want to admit it to yourself. Find Remmie another home and if you decide to never post here again I wish you luck and Remmie the joy of a family who truly has the love, patience and no expectations of him that he cannot control.:aimeeyork

I def think you should fix him and then post him up here, or in a newspaper...someone WILL get this precious baby...Ppl want yorkies all the time. Don't give up hope.

Tammy you know that whenever someone posts about rehoming a dog there are always some negative comments that are made. Dont let those comments make you stop coming here. There were also alot of people trying to help you remember that. I think if you cntinue too work with Remi you can get him past the food agression issue. If you decide to rehome him this might be a good place to find him a home. Good luck with whatever you decide

When you air your dirty l;aundry in public, you have to expect some repurcussions.

The title of the post was the first red flag, and then the original post making Remmie out to be the bad guy.

It is very obvious in what you say that, contrary to what you have said, you don't like the dog so that is coming across to the dog and you will unconsciously treat him differently, thus the acting out, just as a "red headed step child" would do. The dog knows that you don't like him and obviously the feeling is mutual.

So sell him and be done with it.

First let me say I know where your coming from.
Buddy is a prue love, however, he bit me 2mos ago for the first time
and I was in total shock! He will be 3 next week. After stopping the blood, he got me good,
I reasessed what happened. It was not his fault but mine.
I had just finished eating in the family room where he knows to leave
me alone at that time. After finishing I call him and he comes running
and jumps on top of me. I had a piece of bread on the table next to me he spotted it and in a instant he lunged for it. It was in his mouth and I grabbed
him by the scuff of his neck to get it out. He growled and bit me on the forearm! I should have never let that piece of bread be within his reach.
He only reacted like any dog would. Are they ever full when there is food around? Never! When I grabbed him to remove the food I threatened him by wanting to take it away and he reacted. After it was over he was all over me kissing me his way of realizing he did wrong. I will never call him him the room again until the food sorce is removed. I set him up just like you have done leaving the trash in his reach. Buddy is obiedient, has good manners, is fully trained loving and is not food aggressive. We have worked on that from day one. He sits and looks at me before getting the ok to eat his food daily.
You pup needs training and so do you just like I did. Please give him another chance and order the Dog Whisperer, I did and learned so much. These little ones are so smart. We need to take the time to think like they do and be the alpha at all times. Because they are little we tend to baby them and forget to remember they are dogs with natural instints. Our fault not theirs.
Good luck.

Carol & Buddy

I don't usually like to say a lot when it comes to controversial discussion as everyone have their own opinions that they are entitled to but since you posted this thread, please be open minded to what people might say. There are some people who ask for advices and then when it is offered, they reply in a rude way. There are also people who are waiting to pounce on people (why?I don't know) but in general, 90% of YT members are very sincere in offering their opinions and advices.

My opinion is, if you think you are not able to make peace with Remmie, rehome him is the better way to go. You might not love him 100% or at least 99% for what he is but I am sure there will be a family that will truly treasure him for what he is. It is better for Remmie and for you in the long run. There are many people opposing to rehoming but in some cases, it might be the best thing for the dog BUT choose your new family seriously. You want him to go to a home that can provide the very basic care that he needs; i.e. lots of love and attention, good food, vet checks. If subconsciously you are not providing him the love he deserves because he is 'naughty', he might be acting out to get more attention. Just like a human kid. If he goes to a home that truly loves him, he might change out of their love and patience, you never know. Hence, choosing the right new family is utmost important and you have to be very objective about it. Drill them with questions if you have to. In my opinion, I'd rather rehome my dog to a stranger that knows about the breed or has another yorkie than give it to my relative who doesn't really know how to take care of them. They might say how good they can be but you never know...its just words. JMO. Wish you the best of luck.
