| Hi I had a yorkie many many years ago that followed me for ten years. I could not break her of it. and it drove me nuts. I hope somebody on here as some ideas for you. Seems like your little girl is always feeling insecure and stressed cause she feels she needs to make sure you are not with the other one maybe. What a life for her and you. And your other little one is not having fun either. I have no answers but just want to let you know you are not alone.I am sure somebody on here has similar issues and can offer a solution. |

| kayden follows me everywhere, too. she's sitting beside me as i type. if i'm doing dishes or standing at the stove, she either stands between my feet, or lays across them. she sits outside the shower when i'm in there, too. she shouldn't feel insecure...we don't have any other animals. it's just my daughter and me...and my daughter ('almost 18' as she says) is hardly ever here. so kay gets my attention all the time. it doesn't really bother me. but i do wonder why she's like this. |

| This is what Yorkies do...they are companion animals and will move with you from room to room...for the most part...heck at my house I have a string of 6 that follow me everywhere and Moose (4#'s) controls everyone.

| It's part of their nature. Yorkies are very attached to their humans, I don't believe it means she is insecure. I have a little 4 part choo-choo train here every time I get up or walk from room to room..... or go to the bathroom..... or to the kitchen.... or to bed.... or outside.... or to do laundry.... you get the idea

| My two follow me everywhere. They would follow me to work if they could. They follow me to the door when I am leaving to go to work. I don't mind, at least I know where they are. Buster's favorite place is sitting on my lap. Maggie likes to sit there some, I don't know if she is more independent or if it's because Buster is always there. Even if Buster is sitting in my lap, Maggie is close by. But both of them follow me everywhere. I know where they are and if I see one and don't see the other, I start stalking the one that is not with me. Fair play!

| Jackson does not follow me everywhere and I am glad. It kind of got to me when my other yorkie did this. She even had to be in the bathroom with me. |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | Misty, my Yorkie, doesn't follow me everywhere but she knows where I am all the time. My problem child is a 6 month old Maltese, Cassie. She stalks me. Everywhere I go, and no I don't dare close a bathroom door. Even when I take a shower, she is sitting right outside the door whining. Do they ever grow out of it?

| little shadows I also have a shadow in my little Belle. She will sit and watch me if I am in the same room, but heaven forbid if I go into another room, and no, you can not shut the bathroom door. I swear she would chew her way through it I will admit that if she's not following me, I know she's up to something. She's taken a great interest in my husband's sport catalogs lately, she slowly eating her way through them. I told my DH she is recycling the paper |

| I would.... It sounds like a dominance thing. I would feed Peanut first, Pet Peanut first, treat Peanut first. If your other girl lights into Peanut explain that is not ok with a load "no" and the Ignore her for several minutes. I have a 2yo GSD and a 13week old Yorkie. They are both well rounded and they both follow me sometime: IE when I go to kitchen because behind that big white metal door is treats of such great flavor and only mommy serves them! Also if not, you may want to fix the girls. Good Luck! |

| Buddy follows me everywhere when I'm home. I will admit and say it does drive me bonker's sometimes because he's alway's there. If I turn fast for some reason I trip over him because he stops when I do and he's not small, he's 16lbs. I was so stressed yesterday, due to some medical testing, I just wanted to go home and take a hot bath. I did but guess who stoop hunched over the tub staring at me? There's no privacy when you are the owner of a Yorkie. Sorry your other little one get's picked on. That would really make me crazy. Poor baby. Hope you can figure out a way so she can enjoy life also. |
