| non stop crying yorkie when excited Hi everyone, I have two yorkies, one is just over 2 and the other is 1 and a half, my problem is that the youngest wont stop crying when he gets excited. The minute he see's his lead or gets into the car he will cry constantly and I cannot stop him, for example if we go to the beach he gets into the car and from the minute he gets in he wont stop until we get where we are going, I have to say though that it isnt really like he is crying it is more like and excited whimper, it is the same when he sees his lead he does and wont stop until he is out for his walk, I also have a 6 mont old labrador who we have been able to train. The otther yorkie and the lab dont do this, I thought the youngest yorkie would grow out of it but it doesnt seem to be happening no matter what we try.... Has this happened to anyone and if so were you able to stop it? Please let me know because it is getting to the point where people are starting to get very annoyed when I want to bring him in the car with me because he just does this constantly..... |

| It may be hard to fix the problem now because of his age. I would suggest trying to calm him down before he is allowed to have the lead put on him. This may take some time to do. Try showing him the lead and teaching him to sit and stay via treats and praise and only when he calms down put the lead on to take him out or in the car. When he behaves the wrong way take him out of the car and back in the house until he calms down again then repeat going to the car so forth. I suggest you do these exersices when you have lots of time to practice with him. Use the car ride to train with first, I realize he has to go outside to potty, But you have to teach him that what he is doing now you don't aprove of, This means he can not be rewarded by getting to go in the car until he is calm. When he is calm reward him with a short trip to the store. If he starts to act up tell him in a firm voice no, or whatever word you use. If you can pull the car over safely and remove him for a few minutes do so. When he is calm again resume the ride. As I said this will take time and repeating of the same words and actions everytime. I do wish you the best of luck with your baby. Any baby can learn even the older ones. Blessings

| My 2 year old does the same thing. In fact, the older he gets the worse he gets. One thing that seems to help in the car is to crack the window closest to him. |

| Thanks for the replies, I have tried to wait untill he is calm but he would do it for hours without stopping.. I will just have to keep at it and hopefully he will stop, thanks for the advice |
