 Is this normal
Hi, I have been a member for a while but only just got our yorkie, she is 7 years old and was owned by a friend of my mums. Anyway this guy has passed away and it was left to my mum to take care of her. She is very small and has always been very friendly (the dog that is) well the thing is my mum is 74 and is not able to walk her as much as she needs so we have adopted her. Now, I have had a couple of yorkies and never had a problem with them but my wife and daughter have not had pets before and Poppy (the dogs name) has not taken to them much at all. My wife doesn't have a problem with her but Poppy has snapped at my daughter a couple of times and it is making her nervous of the dog. My daughter is nearly 5 and so much wants to love Poppy. She takes her for walks and tries to play with her but Poppy shows no interest in playing, She follows me everywhere and pines when I leave the room. She sits with me and sleeps with me and my wife but I would like her to sleep in her own bed or with my daughter. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to deal with this I would be most grateful.
Thanks
