I started 5 years ago with a 6 month old jack russell. Two and a half years later we got another 6 month old jack russell to add to the family. Last year we added a Yorkie that we found at the shelter, he's about 8, to the family and my boss just had to give up her 12 week old baby Bischon. We took her in too. So three boys and a baby girl.
My yorkie loves to sleep on my bed but the past four nights, he has been in there before us and has peed on my pillows! It's gross. How can I stop it - other than putting up a baby gate to block him out of the room?

I guess that I should also mention that they thought he was neutered and he isn't - they never descended - so he is scheduled to be neutered at the end of this month. He also is on Prozac (by the vet) for his aggression. He was definitely abused prior to being a stray. He loves his brothers but HATES the new puppy. He runs away from her and hides. He also will try to bite you if you reprimand him. He is VERY sensitive! He and the other three sleep with us at night in the huge bed that we have.

Awww, I have a yorkie and just love him to death!!! He is the only thing that is allow to sleep in bed with me!
If it is one thing I have learned about Yorkies is that they can be spiteful little creatures! Is your yorkie getting enough attention? Perhaps he is jealous of the other dogs?
You must be firm with your dog. You have to catch him in the act and reprimand him immediately. I would suggest after such incidences you punish the dog by putting him outside for a while, maybe crating him as a time-out. Yorkies are smart and will learn quickly...
All the best!

for the aggression clonicalm may be better suggestion see the vet.
also aggression is about how the dog perceives the outside world, so its all to do with retraining and that isnt easy when you keep taking in other dogs.
the peeing is simply dominance and assertion of its rights to a territory.
dont shout at the dog for doing what is instinctive simply remove to a crate and commence this type of training, with so many dogs in the home I do think they all would benefit from their own space like a crate. you will find that the aggression will stop soon after too.

It sounds like he is upset with you. I had my shep/husky fixed and when I brought her home she promptly ran into the house, up the steps, jumped onto my bed and pee'd right in the middle of it. She was "p'd" at me, pardon the pun. Dogs don't usually relieve themselves in their space, that is why it is so strange, especially if he sleeps with you. There is a product called "bitter apple" that is used for chewing and there are products that will deter them from going into an area. Wash the pillows with vinegar to get rid of the odor and make sure it did not get on the bed or he will be returning to the scene of the crime. Good luck. Hope you get an answer that helps.

When my dad was little all the family dogs would pee under the television. My Grandpa got really mad and my dad asked around and found that it was the new dog marking out his or her territory. Maybe that's why day was such a strict person in making us take ou puppies outside first thing in the morning!

Maybe he is showing a sign of ownership with you. take him out more often and get urinegone for dogs, they have a website and spray it takes all smell of dog pee away and breaks down the amonia chemical.he needs to be reassured since the puppy.Read the psychology of dogs or the dog who loved too much by Nicholas Dodd. He is an animal psychologist who teaches at Tufts University.

I think he's marking you. He wants to be the top dog in the family so he's marking his scent on YOU to show the other dogs that you're his. At night just lock him up in a crate so you can show him who's the boss! This works for me! If the other dog starts doing the same thing, put it in a crate in the night also. This will definately work!

go to jefferspets.com they make a male doggy wrap. the size's run small so go a little larger. I tried everything on my male yorkie when i didn't want him to breed with my females and he got out of all of it. The male wrap was the only thing I could keep him in. Worth every penny. velcro closure for easy on and off. don't bother buy the pads with it. Just cut up some maxi pads and place one in it.

Your dog is showing dominance and I suggest you fix this pronto before it turns into anything more serious.
Head out to your local book store and order a book by Jan Fennell called Dog Listener, follow the program and your current issue will be fixed.

your dog might have a bladder infection and is finding something they think is suitable. Get them checked out by the vet and perhaps leave puppy pads in convenient locations until the problem is resolved. Of course if you catch him say 'aaaaah' an take him outside immediately x
