Three weeks ago I adopted a 1 1/2 year old female Yorkie from the orginal family where they had 3 kids; 12 year old, 5 year old and a 10 week old baby as well as another 4 year old female Yorkie. They told me the reason they needed to find a new home for her was she was having problems with toliet training since the new baby. They also said she was very territorial of the family.
She seems to be making the adjustment to my 12 year old male Yorkie fine. She is super sweet, loving, a lap dog that wants to be laying close to my husband or myself and loved all the time. Very mellow and doesn't bark unless there is a visitor.
But I am having a couple of problems:
1. She is not telling me she has to go outside. She will go if my 12 year old needs to go out or if I ask if they need to go outside.
2. We have had a several visitors; she starts shaking, growling, showing teeth and she has lunged at them if they get to close to my husband or myself.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
