| Mozy's dilemma... Ok so I am new to this whole Yorkie thing but I've had my little boy since December and he is just two weeks shy of being 6 months old. He is potty trained and NEVER used the bathroom on anything in the house (minus the floor) but never anything important, he has been trained for about 2 months now. He knows several tricks and commands and knows where his "home" is, so I know he is intelligent. At night time we usually tell him to go "home" and he cause happily and lays done. However, recently we tell him to go home (nicely like always) and he cowers like he is in trouble, jumps on the bed and sits there for a second if you try to reach out for him or call his name to come, he pees on the bed (not anywhere else) while cowering. Any ideas? My husband and I are students and I have all online classes so I am home most of the day so he gets lots of attention. But the past two nights he has done this (and one or twice randomly before) but never two nights in a row. He knows when he does bad because he hides and cowers, like when he can't make it to the bathroom on time and he dribbles, but I don't get on to him. Only when he does realllllly bad things he does get in trouble and I just firmly tell him no twice, but he already knows he is in trouble because he makes himself invisible. Anyway any thoughts or ideas? |

| I'm so sorry he is reacting that way. It makes you feel so bad, doesn't it. I have rescue Yorkies....some that have been abused. That is their response. So sad. But when abuse hasn't been the case then I suppose you need to look elsewhere. Whenever my doggies' behavior changes I usually make an appointment for them to see the vet. Just lately my Pommie's tail started hanging. Very unusual. Took him to the vet and he had an infection. Just a thought. ~Joanne~

| I think the whole thing may revolve around the fact he wants to sleep with. I think most of us let our yorkies sleep on the bed but not all do. Maybe someone who has their's sleep in a doggie den can help. Good luck, he sounds like a sweet and smart little guy

| Mozy's Dilemma part 2 Ok so I posted last night about his problem....he is doing it today! TWICE in the last 10 minutes. We just walk by him and he is doing it. PLEASSSSSE any suggestions. Should I take him to the vet? Is it a phase? Is he being rebellious? I have no clue but I hate doing tons of laundry because he is literally peeing on everything (while cowering) AND HE'S NOT EVEN IN TROUBLE!!! |
