when people come into the room and control him that way until he is
comfortable with the company. I feel Yorkies are very smart and easy to
train however they are unpredictable as a most toy dogs breeds can be. |
I love sleeping with my dogs, I have a huge king size bed and there is plenty of room.....but I don't do it. When I travel, I will let them sleep with me, but it is a special treat only, or we may bring the futon mattress down for 'camping' in the family room occasionally. As much fun as this is, it may eventually break the dog's heart. With my last dog, she finally got so sick that she could no longer stay on the bed reliably without an accident, and I went so far as to get a plastic mattress cover. But, eventually, she was too old and sick to stay on the bed due to accidents, and being too frail to get off of the bed without hurting herself. So, in addition to being sick, she thought she was being abandoned and punished when I finally had to banish her from the bed. I don't want this to happen with my Yorkies, so I never started them sleeping on my bed and they seem happy with their 'room' in the closet, which is open and filled with their bedding and open cage.
