And I have seen him put these dogs on a daily regime of tread-mill walking.
I want to think the poor pup has never had a good way to get rid of that "Yorkie-Energy" that is soooooo famous!
If you ever do get the 'pacing' under some control maybe a few toys that give the dog some exercise--activity while alone.....like the kibble-balls (I usually like to stick some cheerios inside...seems like more fun than dry kibble) or one of the Kong toys...the ones you put peanut butter/filling in then freeze them....my dogs chew and lick for HOURS!!!!!
Good Luck! |
I think she gave wonderful advice! I also remember Ceasar, the Dog Whisper doing a show with pacing dog. He corrected the behavior by not letting him exhibit the beahaviour, but I wouldn't want to make your dog worse. Have you tried walking your new dog? I would get her used to a leash and start walking her. Results may not be immediate, but I bet this will do a lot of good by providing stimulants. Also interactive toys, like the person who posted above me suggested. Good luck. Please keep us updated.
