My 1-year-old Yorkie-Poo (50% Yorkshire Terrier, 50% Poodle Mix) is a sweet puppy, some of the time. He loves human contact, being walked, being played with, and curling up next to you at night.
However, he is VERY aggressive when provoked -- even to family members he's closest to!
After barking incessantly around 3:00 AM, recently, I yelled "NO!" and tried to discourage him away from the window, at which point he growled, showed his teeth, and began lunging toward me and biting me.
^ Versions of this episode are happening *all the time*, close to 3 or 4 times EVERY DAY, and I am so frustrated! I love my dog, but he is an absolute nightmare of late.
~~~
My infant niece and toddler nephew are always here at our house, and I can't help but fear for their safety, now that he is so aggressive when... 1) reprimanded, 2) around food.
He does have a crate, but it's a huge task just trying to successfully get him in it, without being bitten beyond all belief.
HELP?!
