Hi all,
I just adopted a 3 y.o rescue yorkie two days ago (he was picked up off the street and has been in a foster home for 1 month). He's also my second dog. Everything is going smoothly considering what I'm up against, but I do have a couple of things I need help with. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on any of the following:
1) My first dog and my new adoptee are super jealous of each other when it comes to me, how do I get them both to stop being so green? Will it go away? Luckily they are not aggressive about it to each other but it makes things harder on me.
2)My new dog, Joey, is super clingy, which I assume is a rescue dog trait, but how do I help him to feel more secure and not so needy?
3) Joey is really good considering what he's been through, but he barks to get my attention, when he's jealous, and whenever he is super excited. So far, I ignore him until he stops barking, but he's a determined little guy. Any suggestions on how to teach him its not necessary to bark incessantly?
4) Joey broke out into hives the day after I got him when we woke up in the morning. He hadnt eaten anything or been exposed to anything new in about 6 hours. I know that people can get hives from stress, can dogs too? I gave him half of a children's Benedryl and it went away, but is this something yorkies can be prone too?
Thanks so much for any input
