I don't know why he does that. I guess he a really passive dog. |
Yeah sounds like Otis is a submissive dog. Nothing wrong with that and maybe safer for a yorkie to be that way!
Sheila isn't afraid of other dogs at all which scares me a bit. She will try to play with some of the other puppies at her daycare but they are seperated. Lol they let her out a lot (It's a daycare/pet supply) and she'll run around their ex pens to say "nah nah, I'm out!" lol. They do let her interact with some of the more mellow dogs in regular "adult" daycare and some of the non aggresive dogs that come in for grooming.
For the most part though she just ignores other dogs and prefers people. Anyone else have this? Mind you I'm talking about a yorkie that has been around lots of other dogs the whole 14 weeks she's been on this earth. SHe'll try and play with them on occasion but for the most part she could care less about other dogs. People though she loves meeting!
