Often, when acquiring a small dog, people forget that it is still a dog, and neglect basic training, believing that only large dogs need it. This approach to decorative dogs often leads to aggressive behavior of these dogs - they begin to bite. And Yorkshire Terriers are no exception. How to stop a Yorkie from biting? It is worth thinking about this and trying to fix it, not only for the good of the eternally bitten owner, but also for the good of the dog itself.

Instructions
Step 1
While still in their pack next to their mother, surrounded by their littermates, puppies learn to fight for leadership by growling, barking and biting. Once in your family, the baby perceives all its members as a flock. He needs to find out his hierarchical place in your "pack", which he does, biting you and your family members in the game, checking your reaction. While the puppy is still small, biting can seem funny. But when he grows up, he will start biting seriously, which will no longer give you joy. Therefore, stop any attempts to bite you or someone from your family members immediately.
Step 2
When playing with each other, puppies often cross the border and do not calculate the strength of their bite. If the puppy is bitten too hard and painfully, then he will screech loudly and sharply, move away from the offender and will not communicate with him for some time. Do the same when your little yorkie bites you. Screech sharply and try to ignore it for 15-20 minutes. It will have the same effect on him if you roll up a newspaper and slap it on a table, wall, or floor.
Step 3
Put your Yorkshire Terrier's attention on play. The moment your puppy tries to bite you, offer him a toy instead of your hand. Get the dog to bite the toy.
Step 4
If all this does not help, then move on to physical impact on your dog:
- When your puppy bites, grab his mouth with your palm, squeeze it lightly and pull it towards the floor.
- Take the puppy by the withers and lightly but delicately shake him, giving the command "Fu!" or "You can't!" in a rough voice.
Step 5
If your Yorkie isn't a puppy anymore.
When the dog tries to bite you, take it under the chest, turn it over onto its back, press it to the floor and hold it until it stops resisting. Such a pose for a dog is a pose of submission. The moment the dog stopped wriggling and trying to twist or bite you, he acknowledged the leadership of you. This exercise must be repeated several times.
Step 6
The following method may seem strange at first glance. But, believe me, it is very effective with a dog of any age.
Learn to growl. Exactly to growl like a dog.
When your Yorkie tries to bite, take him by the withers, growl menacingly at him and … In response to his attempts to bite, bite him on the tip of his ear or nose to hurt him. Dogs usually realize that they are doing something wrong the first or second time they do this.
