My second Yorkie is 1 year and 9 months old. He has a totally different personality than my 4 year old Yorkie. He is very scared/timid of everyone, except me,my husband, my mother-in-law, and my father. Everytime someone comes over he barks, runs away, and hides under the bed. He is especially afraid of kids. He really freaks out if someone tries to come by him or pet him. He is also terrified of other dogs. When we were leaving my in-laws with him in our arms, he freaked out when we walked through the garage with my brother in-laws dogs. He actually tried to get out of our arms to get after him, in a very angry manner. I don't think the place he came from when we got him at 4 months old, was a very good place. I think he was locked away in his cage his whole life by some other dogs.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do for him? I feel so bad, because he is the most loving/affectionate dog to me and my husband. I really wish he would not be so scared, it is very sad.
