| Help my dog is such a baby!! MY dog is 5 and half months but the thing that is a problem is that he is such a baby!! I understand that he misses me but this is too extreme! Basically everywhere I go in the house he follows arund and I can not even go to the bathroom for a split second when I close that door he barks. Simply felix won't stop barking and whining whenever I close the door on him or run upstairs or downstairs he always wants to be around me. Is anyone else having this problem do they start getting better and realizing that we are not going anywhere? Can anyone give me advice on how to let them know not to bark and whine whenever you leave them for even a split second. I know eventually and hopefully when he gets older it gets better but this is too extreme! Its like he is a shadow. I can't go anywhere in the house with out him following and barking whenever I leave him alone for just a minute or so he barks. |

| Ditto. I think Yorkies are like that. Let him follow when he can, otherwise ignore the barking. In other words, don't draw attention to it. Give him a toy to interest him.........say, "Mommy will be right back"..........Mine do it too, but I think it's kinda cute!

| If you ignore the behavior then reward him when he is good it shouldn't take that long to get him to stop. BTW, where in Illinois are you locate? Just curious |

| Lacy's not like that. She'll come to see where I am, then go off to her business. Cruz on the other hand follows me around everywhere. He's such a mama's boy. I don't mind though. It doesn't bother me at all. |

| Mine, at 7 months, pretty much follows me wherever I go. I have a "toilet room" inside the bathroom. If I go in it and close the door, he stand outside and sniffs under the door. If I let him in, he sits and my feet and chills like he's protecting me. Funny, just now, I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner...and he was laying in the floor and I walked in in the living room and said stay with daddy....then I heard "what's the matter boy, you don't always have to be up her ass"! It is the truth...I think it's the nature of the yorkie...personally, I don't mind...he is at the age that the doesn't whine so I think that will get better for you in a few months...good luck!

| It's a Yorkie thing. ESPECIALLY when they are babies. Baxter used to follow me EVERYWHERE. He doesn't do it as much as he used to-I wish he still would. Chloe doesn't though. NOT like Baxter did. I wish she would.

| Deegan's doesn't really do that. He does follow me, but he's not constantly on my heels, and he doesn't bark if I go to the bathroom. However, my sheltie Mickey (RIP) was like that. He wouldn't bark when I was in the bathroom, but he would cry and whine alot until I came into sight. It just means they love you!

| Bruce is 6 months and he is like this, in fact he has gotten worse. It is so bad that it has interfered with my dating, because a lot of people cannot stand how much babying and constant attention he requires. People tell me it is because I treat him like he is a little person, but I think it is because he is a little Yorkie. Trust me you would be sad if your little guy was all aloof and totally independent! |
