 Need help please...!
Hi everyone…
Okay, it’s only our third day together, but my baby is worrying me a bit.
She’s my 11 month female yorkie Bridget.
She runs away from me! When I try to reach for her or pick her up she
darts away and goes under the bed or out of my reach. I try to get her to
come and offer treats, but she won’t get close enough. She’ll try to get the treat, but will jump back or back away before she gets too close to me.
Occasionally, I’ll try giving a bit of "cold shoulder" – ignoring her and letting her do her thing, and sometimes she’ll come near enough to let me pet her and maybe pick her up… but it takes a lot of doing - even at the door for a walk and getting the leash on. Is this just a game to her? Adjusting to her new home perhaps? Or am I just being overly sensitive about this - it really has only been 3 days... And tonight I caught her starting to pee in the corner – after doing really well on the p-pads. I tried not to make a big deal out of it, just distracted her and then put her on her pad. But I was almost in tears - I don’t want my baby to be scared of me. What am I doing wrong? |
