Terrible Twos!?!?! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My little Oliver seems to be displaying "terrible twos" at only 4 months!!!!
I has been totally potty trained for about a month (and I know he's young and supposed to have accidents but he really hasn't for this past month) then last night I let him out of the bathroom (where his litter box is) so he could walk with me before bed time. He looked at me, ran halfway down the stairs, turned when I called him-- then kept going!! He was down stairs for 30 seconds before he came running back up and into his litter box to go pee. When my boyfriend went down stairs to see what he had done he found Oliver had gone poop!
I don't understnad why he is testing me right now. He's such a good boy (and this morning he was back to his routine of going in the litterbox) so was it just a little "test" or a little attitude he was giving me?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Terriers have a stubborn streak in them. They look at you like "What?" I'm so cute I don't understand." They're too smart for their own fur-britches!
Here's the question: Are you more stubborn then your Yorkie?
But that's what makes them so much fun. Or should I say "A little spicy".

My girls went through a phrase where they tested everything...all thier training!! But if you stay with it he will make it through...just stay patient and realize he is still a puppy!! He will do this a couple of times before he finally gets it all done....
