Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a nightmare with my two yorkies at the moment and just don't know what to do. Firstly they both get told off for doing something wrong the both get as much love and cuddles and fuss as the other and both get fed at the same time. The problem I'm having at the minute is Rebels getting really well rebellious (no pun intended) he's peeing where he shouldn't, if i go to tell him off hes going for me like snarling and growling and when I give them both a treat Rebel torments meg and then goes for her I've split them up a few times for actually fighting not play fighting theyre fine when they do that but actual biting eachother.

I'm concerned that either one of them is going to get hurt or hurt me, luckily they've never shown any aggression towards my little girl when shes playing or anything. Now i'd NEVER EVR give either of them up to any rescue or anything nor would I have ever suggested giving rebel up as he was here first and i havent got meg to just get rid of rebel but mydad has said that he would take Rebel and have him at their house for my younger half brother and my stepmum as they have been after a dog for years, I've told my dad I can't just say yeah he's yours just take him as he is my pet and I love him dearly but at the moment i'm seriously considering it as he was great on his own. I've told my dad that IF he was to take him then he has to get his boosters done every year etc and that if he ever has to give him up that he comes back to me, we will still see rebel when we go to my dads as will meg but i just don't know what to do for the best for me and my little girl but more importantly for rebel and meg.

Please don't have a go I didn't go into getting rebel or meg lightly I thought long and hard about getting them I'm not someone who would get rid for the littlest thing and i certainly wouldnt put it that way, Any advice on things I could try or anything would be really helpful. :help::cry:

Are both or either of them neutered? With little dogs a lot of their Napoleon complex comes from how we treat them and them believing that they have pack leader status because of a number of things, but none of them are helped by hormones.

Even if Rebel's been neutered, Meg going into season could cause him to be jealous and snappy around anyone getting near 'his' dog.

Meg is neutured, Rebels not as of yet but is due for his booster so hes going to be neutered then and microchipped aswell, I'm hoping that will calm him down and that i can forget i even thought about letting my dad have him. I actually feel really guilty for even thinking about it.
