Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Yorkies just have ....attitude

My dog Chloe is part Yorkie and park Bichon and a 12 pound diva. All about the attitude. She acts like a demure thing here in the house, but she goes out side and she is becomes a stubborn little pain. We have a Rottweiler/Pit Bull/Lab mix next door who is the nicest guy you'll meet. He just has the ugly face and is all muscle, but I walk to the fence and he is just tail wagging head down and submissive. Totally threw me.

He learned to jump the fence to come play with Chloe. Over a year ago he was just being playful and jumping around with her when she snapped and started growling and biting him. Chewed on his ear, tore part of his lip, scratched his middle and got a bite on his leg. So I am terrified about him hurting her, and she is the agressor. He becomes this pile of whimpering dog. I am apologizing to the neighbors who are just shocked that 1-he can get over the fence, 2-she kicked his butt and 3- there isn't a mark on her and she still wants to fight.

I scolded her for being bad and hurting him and then put her in her crate. She then had to watch me go over and treat him well. Fortunately the neighbors were great and the was no serious damage to him, but he is a bit nervous around her.

We did the water and vinegar and that really seems to help with teaching her NO MORE. It also helped that we both became the Alphas although she responds better to my fiance when he scolds her and doesn't try to ignore him like she does to me part of the time.
