My Yorkie, Yager, has just recently become agressive and has begun biting. He is 3 years old. He used to NEVER act like this, he was always a sweet dog. I'm scared to even go near him sometimes. He is not fixed, do you know if this will fix this situation. I am at a loss.

That would be a start. Then he might need some major obedience work or a dog behavioral psychologist.. Even though they are little they could do serious damage to a baby or small child..

I hope that neutering him control his behavior. You need to work on it now and show him that behavior is not acceptable. Maybe obedience classes is the way to go. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Are you certain that he doesn't have some health problem or something unusual that has brought this behavior about? It is odd for them to start such behavior at the age of three. Maybe it's the terrible two's at three!
