Little T Barkley is his name. Or Barkley for short. He came from a puppy mill in kentucky. He's currently shaved because he was neglected at his former home after the female he was mating with died. He came to me flea infested and I was able to count his ribs. Barkley has gotten along well with my other 3 dogs, better than I expected. He is enthralled with my iguana and went at her with his teeth and that is a big no-no. My iguana can defend herself, I'm positive of that, but she shouldn't have to, not at home. I can't get him to listen when I say NO! when he wants my lizard. "NO BARKLEY!!!" It just doesn't work. If he hurts my iguana, he's gone. Number ONE rule of the house : Don't harm the iguana, don't even think about harming her. I don't know what to do to make him get the message. And everytime I pick him up he growls, I don't pick him up from behind, I make sure he's aware of what I'm doing. He's even gone to bite me before and as a matter of fact has bitten me before... just because I picked him up. I used to let him intimidate me but not anymore. I figured if I showed him who was boss he'd quit, but he didn't. Any advice? Thanks.![]()

. Um, well, in my house when I grow up, my rule will be "never harm the snakes". I want to breed snakes, and it would be cool to. Anybody who does anything that makes then unhappy--Bye Bye!! Anyway, um, I don't know what to do--did you try putting the iguana in a seperate room, where it can be free, and it could be off limits to the doggies?

I love yorkies, they are the cutest!
