And she totally attacked me tonight, so I am hoping she outgrows this because I do know they can go through a bratty period at about a year old. This is my first yorkie, however, so I am not sure if this is typical. We had a sheltie for 11 years and she was a dream, never an accident at all. So any yorkie owners out there, is there hope?
Judging from the advice that I received, I think it may just be that "adolecent" stage. Scrappy was such a sweetie when we first brought him home. I love him so much and when I look at his face I melt every time. But trust me when I say for the last month I have been feeling like I hit a road block. He "attacks" us to by either biting or barking and just being just plain bratty. I think it is just the fact that they want the attention 24/7 and we are only able to give them a portion of that. I know someone with a yorkie and she is as calm as can be. She just lays around and waits to be cuddled and never really went through the bratty stage like our babies. Good luck please let me know if you find out anything as well.
