Hello. First, I apologize if I'm in the wrong place or interfering in someone's conversation. I've never done this before and this is a first for me. My problem is this. My husband gave me a 2 yr-old Yorkie from the spca about a month ago and it's not going well. I just don't think the dog likes me. I walk the dog daily, I feed him, I clean up after him. I get down on the floor to play with him and he runs the other way. I hold him in my arms, pet him, groom him but he runs away. I made a bed for him out of a flannel shirt with my scent on it. I've done everything I can think of to bond with that dog. However, the dog adores my husband. He follows my husband everywhere and when my husband leaves the house, the dog cries and runs around looking for him and totally ignores me. My husband has done nothing to encourage that behavior. The dog is housebroken when he wants to be. When he doesn't get his way, he does his business in or near something of mine. I've owned dogs before (a Lab, a Husky, and a Rottie) but I've never experienced anything like this. Any advice on how to get him to bond with me or is it hopeless and I should take him back to the spca. Thanks for you help. Edd
