| Help, Prince needs a friend!!!!!! Thanks to Yorkietalk, I finally know what is wrong with my baby? He has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!!!!!!!!! He got neutered 2 months ago and then last month got surgery for patella luxation on one of his little legs. Therefore, he hasn't been getting out much and hasn't been getting much exercise. I noticed that he is still limping. Could it be from lack of exercise? Anyways, I decided that the best thing to do for my baby was to arrange a meet-up 3 days out of the week so that he could play and exercise with other dogs. I noticed something was wrong when I started walking him and he started barking at everyone, chasing bikes, and biting his feet. I'm so glad I'm a part of yorkietalk or I would've never known. I was even contemplating buying him a bark control collar. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to go back to normal? He isn't aggressive towards other dogs at all. Anyways, if you live in the Bronx or in Manhattan and would like Prince to play with your baby, let me know. I prefer them to play in the park or a dog run for like an hour a day because he isn't completely housebroken. Please help me guys my baby is stressed out and bored no matter how much I play with him. It's tearing me up inside.

| maybe because of the lack of movement the muscles in his legs are just stiff........ maybe swimming would be a good idea for him..... i dunno how big he is (this wouldnt work with my 13 lber) but maybe if you fill the bathtub up and hold underneath his belly and let him kick around a bit, it might help |

| Hi princesmommy, I feel sosrry that the little guy has OCD. I live in Manhattan and I will like to have playdates with little Prince. Gucci shys out with other dogs, so this will help her also. She doesnt bark or chase anyone when we are outside she only barks at home. Around other dogs she gets scare and hides behind me or tries to climb to my lap. |

| You maybe just need to get him out around eople more often. My little 4 lb yorkie just attacked my neighbors feet last night. She was being protective and that is what he is probably doing. Good luck

| I hope Prince finds many Yorkie friends and has the chance to build his muscles stong and healthy. Swimming is an excellent idea to aid in his therapy. I have done this with Schatzie, we have a garden tub and we both just climb in there together and I hold her tummy while she exersizes. (Have lots of towels on hand, you will need them, LOL) If Schatzie lived closer she'd love to play with Prince.
