| New Yorkie puppy Question? I couldn't decide how to title this thread it's more about the other Yorkies I already have that is causing me problems right now not the puppy. I have 2 female grown Yorkies and just brought another one into the family. She is just 7 weeeks and very small one of my other Yorkies come from the same mom. The reason I wanted another one of Macy is because of how good of a dog she has been she is so laid back will let me groom her cut her nails just very trusting. My other Yorkie her name is Zoey is a Miss touch me not can't do anything with her. I thought she would give me problems with the puppy but she has handled it well. My Macy is just depressed she doesn't want to eat , want play. When we first brought the puppy home we let her smell and check her out but she just started shaking and was burying her face in the couch anything she can to get away from looking at this puppy. I'm not even the main one taking care of the puppy just because of the way Macy is acting, she was very attached to me I don't know about now. I try to pet her and show her lots of attentions and she will smell me to see if she smells the puppy on me then if she does she'll turn her head and walk off. I'm so missing bonding with the puppy I just don't know what to do. I never thought Macy would act like this. Does anyone have any advice for me? Another reason I have this puppy is my friend didn't want anyone with small children to have this puppy she was the runt of the litter and is much smaller than the rest. Now I feel like a failure that I can't make the dogs like each other. Sorry this is so long. I haven't posted many times so most of you have not heard of me but I do read alot on the forum. We haven't named the puppy yet either trying to match it up with Zoey and Macy if anyone has any ideas. |

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | wow you friend sent your puppy home @ 7 weeks old? just shocking to read that...but i too just recently bought home a new puppy 2 weeks ago...he is now 18.5 weeks old. And i have 4 girls...Ting Ting the one who is attached to my hip is still having some issues with him...but not much...i let them all sleep in the same crate...Ting Ting was always just going into the kennel and lays in there if he is out and about romping around with the others or playing with me and my nieces....but now she is slowly coming around...she is out more and is more tolerate of him coming by her...so give it some time...i didn't do anything different...i guess all dogs are different...1 of my girls took to him within a few hours...another follow shortly after...the other girl observe him playing with the other 2 for a few days while she sat on the couch looking down...being that she was the youngest i figured she would have been the first to accept and play with him but she was the 3rd...one night after watching him and the other 2 girls play she finally jumped down and started nudging him to play with her....but even still she still had her issues with him...and everyday was a surprise as to how she would act towards him...one minute she would play next minute she would snap at him...but now that he has been here 2 full weeks and they all sleep together in 1 big kennel...go outside to potty together....come in together...eat and drink together...it's almost as if he been here longer than he has...with the exception of Ting Ting...she would eat, sleep, drink and walk with him...but haven't seen her play with him...but i know she will come around as she figures out that he is here to stay and won't be going anywhere...

| No Advice? I'm still having problems. Macy is acting like she's going to attack the puppy and when I grab her she wants to bite me. This dog has never acted this way. |

| Have you tried a squirt bottle on her when she goes for the other pup ? |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Time to put Macy on a halter and lead, when she is out with the pup. If she goes to attack pup, firm no, correction, and put her in her crate for a time out. Your pup is way too young to go out, but you can try walking one on each side of you, if she behaves, then she gets a treat, and so does the pup. That would be walking indoors.

My furkids Donating Member | We got a new pup the week before christmas. Bentley was 5 months old when we got him and a tiny peanut (2 1/2 lbs). We also have to adult females (spayed). It took them a while to warm up to him. Lillie started playing with him about 3 weeks after we got him...now she plays with him all the time...Sadie...the "Mature" one just started to play with him...not too often but as least she is playing....I wanted another female but thought a male would be a better mix....it is...Lillie is a baby....she wants our attention all the time...and she got it...when Bentley came along I also thought...what have I done! she looked SO depressed...but now they are best buds...guess she figured she didn't have a choice!! I would say just give them time to get used to each other

| Many times animals take some time to accept change. The puppy also has a scent that could be bothering you dog. I would not advise a bath at this point. The scent will eventually fade but in the mean time you sure do have to keep a close watch on your adult female. |

| Thanks for the advice I will try these suggestions. Do you find that Yorkies get attached to one person only? I've just had one and she is very attacted to me that is causing a lot of the problems. I've caught Macy playing with her a couple of times and I just praise her and then 5 minutes later I'm scolding her. I know it just takes time I just wish they all could be friends now. lol |

| Macy is very spoiled and a very big baby everytime I sit down she is in my lap. This lap thing is something new since the puppy. Zoey my other dog is a Yorkie-Poo she is 6 years old. |
