I have a male yorkie that is three months old.  He is constantly attacking me, barking at me and is very aggressive.  He has bitten me so hard I had trouble getting my finger out of his mouth.  His milking teeth are so painful!  I have tried everything, non-aggressive discipline, putting him in his crate, telling him "no", using the newspaper, put him on his belly and stared into his eyes, you name it, I've done it.  What can I do to have a good relationship with my puppy and get him to stop attacking me?  Everything my vet has recommended, even having him earn everything from me by following a command, like "sit" has not worked with regard to the biting.  He will sit for toys, food, going outside, but how can that command stop him from getting so angry with me?  I am at the end of my rope.  My bloodied fingers can't take any more, he even snaps at my face.  I can't even hold him and love him, which really breaks my heart - you never know when he will turn on you.  I have had the gamut of animals, full breed and mixed breeds and have never come across such an aggressive little animal.  I would love to keep him, but I am at such a loss that I don't know what to do and I am unable to enjoy my new baby.  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very greatful.  thank you.
