as far as exercise, we walk him in the morning and at night. i've also been taking him to the dog park every day since getting him on thursday but he never goes more than 5 feet away. in general, he's a mopey dog. |
I don't mean Yorkies act like cats, far from it, but just this trait of being eager to please, and it being a trait useful in training. They still greet you at the door wildly enthusiastic, something a cat would never do. I think of them as more complex than most dogs, but every bit as fun, and more of a challenge. I wonder if the dog could have any health related problems or food allergies. I wish I had some better suggestions for his mopiness. Do you think there could be any abuse in his background?
