    We need to get Lily, Roger, and Myndi together, and see if the yapping begins.

    Call them The Pom Trio - maybe????

    My mom's little poodle mix is so darn yappy it is annoying. My mom is always correcting her, constantly. She has gotten MUCH better, but she still does a little grunt all the time. She always barks when she hears someone come in the house or move around in another room. Which, IMO, is a good thing for my mom.
    So she is a little yappy dog, but she doesn't get away with it. I believe it will be a forever work in progress with her. And she walks every where by herself. I never see my mom carry her.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Lily has this problem as well. My mom corrects her and tells her to hush, but what can we say, she thinks she's a ferocious Rottweiler and a killer guard dog .

  5. Im sad to say that Kirby would definitely be another annoying yapper with high potential to bite without a leadership role. weve found that out the hard way when ive left Kirby in my parents care when i was away for a few days. he became barky an whiny in his crate. became food/treat an toy possessive an hes bit my mom once. i wouldnt put it past him to do it again since he growls at them both when hes not getting his way. its cuz they spoil him an he takes lead role cuz he knows he can get away with pretty much whatever he wants.

    with a leadership role hes a sweet awesome an quiet dog. but otherwise,, i can definitely see the 'real' reason why his previous owner placed him in the classified ads.
