My little Carson is just with us girls all day long. He's about 5 months old. He's still very nervous around Mike, even though Mike is pretty quiet when he's at home. A couple of times he's gotten after him about being too rough with Phoebe (my girl) or peeing in the house. But it's not like he's ever hit him, or yelled loud. I think it's harder for him to adjust to Mike because there are four of us girls here all day... we can be loud, but we are girls....
I liked the ideas for you to spend time with him with treats, etc. Yorkies are so different (from what I now know) than other dogs. I have had labs and shelties. It seems like they need lots of encouragement when they are being brave and the encouragement goes a long long way. The labs, on the other hand, though they love praise, still want to lay on you, be next to etc, even when you get mad at them for being naughty. What does everyone else think?
Good luck and hang in there! Phoebe has changed drastically as she has grown up! She was very stand offish when we got her, though she loved to play. No snuggling. Now, she begs to be on our bed in the evening for some snuggle time before crate time!
