I have a 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier and although he obeys me, he has no regard for my wife or my 5 year old daughter. He growls at them, nips them and, today, he bit my daughter just above her eye when she sat down on a couch next to him. He has been to training - he sits, lays down and stays very well. He clearly likes males as both my father and my father in law have no troubles with him. There is obviously more work to do with him but I'm not sure I want to spend the time and effort. Dogs are supposed to be enjoyable and he is, but only about 75% of the time. At other times he is growling because we walk too close to his food or nipping at my daughter's feet as she skips in our house. What are my options- I'm really not leaning one way or the other. If the answer is get rid of him, I would love some suggestions on what to do i.e. pound, ad in paper, rescue. Thanks a lot!
