Still biting some not sure what to do So I finally have another yorkie. He's like 3 years and 4 months old. I got him from a lady who had two kids but one was showing signs of allergies. So they had to rehome him. At first it was a little rough him getting used to us. He's really come around with my spouse and i inless we have his toy.. lol then its you better throw it or he might jump at ya to get it. He plays a lil rough. He's pretty good around strangers and my daughter. We have told her time and time again not to mess with him if he's under the table or bed or sleeping or stuff like that. He's snapped at her a few times now. One time leaving a little mark. This really bothers me. I really like him. He's a good dog. Anyone have any ideas what I should do? Hubby said if it happens again im probly going to have to rehome him especially if he hurts her.. |
Im sorry to hear this... maybe take him to training classes or have a private in home trainer come? Maybe if he does it again, say a loud NO and put him in his crate.. |
Well, first Congrats on your new baby! How long has he been with you? He might be having a hard time ajusting to the new house. Has he had any "formal" training? It might be a good idea to take him to a training class. Also, while he is still ajusting, maybe you could keep him gated to one area, and slowly introduce him to the family? I hope it all works out! |
4 Attachment(s) Did really think about the crating. I could.. Just hate putting him in it.. Feel bad.. I'm a sucker.. I've had him close to a month if not a month.. When I picked him up I pulled away and went to pet him and he snapped at me. But I really pushed him too soon. he was scared in my back seat. he does really well with me. when i leave he watches me go in the window sometimes i go get him and take him with me. I even took him to my mom's for a visit.. lol |
I wouldn't use the crate as punishment otherwise it will be associated as such evertime he goes there. Use a squirt bottle of water and squirt him. We use that for our dogs and cats. The way we stopped the puppy biting was once they had a hold of your finger push down (not hard) but enough for them to know that biting is bad |

I remember years ago my mom got a poodle that was a nipper from a lady. That's why they rehomed her because she bit her child. Come to find out, the little girl was tormenting her. They would take a newspaper & swat her. Lily was afraid everytime she heard a newspaper. We just gave her lots & lots of time to get adjusted. We never approached her, we waited for her to approach us. She was around 5 years old when my mom took her. She ended up being the best pooch ever. My mom would put her in the bedroom when the grandkids would come over. Lily was always very nervous around kids until I had mine. She loved my son as much as she loved me. She must have known the difference. She died when my son was around 6. He still remembers her, & talks about how sweet Lily was. |
