| Merging Baby Yorkie with older yorkies in family I just got a yorkie pup a few days ago. I'm having some issues socializing and would like some advice. She likes her crate at this time and sleeps in there and comes out as soon as she wakes up. She's full of energy and looks like a little rabbit jumping around enjoying all the new things around her. I have 2 yorkies that are 5 years old. They are both loveable and playful like puppies, but they keep running away from Bella (3 lbs to their 8 and 11 lbs). Bella is quite playful but they won't play with her and if she gets too boisterous and close to them they growl and snap at her. Mostly they just run though. My male yorkie actually trembles around her and he has been sick several times now. It's like his nerves are frazzled by this tiny little life. My cat is the one who is nurturing funny enough. Chester is 13 lbs and is gentle as he can be with her. Very patient and when she gets too feisty he just jumps up on something out of reach. I've had her in anther room since our dogs mostly hang out in our bedroom and the female at least comes out every once in a while to sniff. I stay out in the living room with her and today finally brought her crate into the bedroom. Is it too soon? Any advice to calm my male? |

| I'm having the same problem. We have a house full of dogs. Bianca, a maltese, she's about 8. Dallas, a yorkie, is a year and 4 months. Mika, who was supposed to be a yorkie mix but looks nothing like a yorkie, about 9 months old. And then we brought Rory in. Mika loves to play with her but Dallas and Bianca react the same way your 2 yorkies do. It's been 2 weeks and Dallas still won't play with her. We didn't expect Bianca to, she's never played much and just wants to be on someone's lap. But I'm so ready for Dallas to start getting along with Rory. He's so mad at me too! He's decided Daddy is his human, which really breaks my heart. We've been inseparable since I got him and now he prefers sitting on Daddy's lap/chair. I've read some threads on here and took their advice (like making sure Dallas gets fed first) but it hasn't helped yet. I'll be watching this thread though, to see what kind of responses you get. (On a positive note, Dallas has stopped hiding in the dining room to get away from her. He will tolerate being in the same room with her, so there's been some progress at least!) Anna |

| OMG that happened to me too i first got my yorkie duque and then Emmy and they did not get along the first week until I started this thing with them where I would hug Emmy and he would look at us and then I would hug him but switch up until I was able to hug them both and whenever he would growl at her I would strictly tell him No! And make him see that that was not right for him to do and then I would hug Emmy little by little they started getting along then they started sitting in my lap at the same time and now well you should see them they are inseparable they love each other a lot and play and run around but here's the thing a few months later I got my boston terrier Frankie and they both hated him and the same thing they didn't want to play with him and they would snap at him.sometimes it's right for them to snap at him when he is bothering them because he learned not to bother others when they don't want to play but I applied the same technique and the same results I got. Now I take them together to daycare and they are always looking after eachother and they play and run and sleep together. So try that out and tell me if it work it takes a while maybe like 2 weeks or so but do not let any aggressiveness get away. Catch them it they are being aggressive because if you don't they are going to think that's the right way to keep the puppy away from them. But really your trying to make them be together. Also let the puppy mature a little. Sometimes they are not used to playful puppies jumping around them. Good luck and tell me how it goes. |

| It's not much different but my female isn't growling as much and is more patient. Poor Nicky is still all nerves and starts shaking whenever she gets close to him. I'm not pushing them on each other though. I figure they are working out the hierarchy of the pack. They all know that I am the pack leader though. I will keep you updated. If anyone has any advice please add it because anything will help. |
