I just read the original thread and I am so completely horrified, I don't know quite what to say, other than you seem to be so NOT the type of person who should own a dog as small and as defenseless as a little Yorkie. I put myself in that little guys head and just want to cry seeing the fear he must live with. His destructive behavior is a reaction only to YOUR destructive behavior.

Please, for that precious baby's sake, and for the terrible example you are setting for your kids, rehome him. I am sorry to come on so strong, but your original angry words were so beyond that.

I am sorry you got jumped on, most of the time in here if your not a picture perfect yorkie owner, our if you portray that things are going as perfect as they could be in a perfect world, if you post it here, you will be blasted. Sorry bout that.

I think your first post was a cry for help and people were more negative than positive in assistance as they are now.

My first Yorkie is so laid back, and i had no major problems from him. My second one started marking my house the minute he stepped in the door. That was something I didn't have to deal with with my first. AT that moment I though WHAT DID I GET MYSelf into. With any pet when you first get them you must put time into training them.
With my first Yorkie i knew that I needed to focus on training him in order to be able to live with him. I am a very picky person. I don't like things out of order. IF my life doesn't have some basic order to it then I am no good. This means i don't wanna have to worry about dog poop in the house or things chewed up that aren't supposed to be and what have you.

I completely understand what you are feeling. Try and take the time to get some professional training classes or like someone suggested you would be an awesome candidate for the dog whisperer. Cause like you there are more people out there who go out and buy dogs and don't get the results they want. They dog ends up abused and neglected not because they are such bad people but more or less they bit off more than they could chew.

I think you would be happy with a trained pet. IF not find someone else that is willing to care for and take on the responsibility of a dog. Since you said you already put money into ur pet (which i also understand) and you don't want to give him or her away, then try putting another 100 bucks into a petco class and see if you get the results u want.

Again sorry you got jumped on and hope u find solace in what i have written and know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well I missed the 1st thread but it sounds like it was a cry for help and now hopefully you will get it. :animal36

good luck with training yourself and your family to get along with the world's best breed ...

I am sure your yorkie will forgive you as soon as he sees you are willing to take the proper steps to be a good responsible "Yorkie parent" ....
