My Suzi is a tough little girl, however she does not like sudden movements. Perhaps your Fletcher is frightend by unpredictable movemenets and 'loud" sounds. Many dogs are. Suzi and my high functioning autistic son hates it when the fire alarm goes off, A high beeping sound, not even loud, just the noise of the sound pitch.
I was cooking dinner , and all of A sudden ran to my son on the couch shaking like crazy. OMG i thought something horrific happened to her. I could find nothing wrong physically. I felt so bad for her. I wish These little guys could talk to us, and say what made them so scared .
I believe that because of their little size and us being "huge" to them they get very spooked quickly by sudden hand motions and our fast movements. Especially when it is an "all of A sudden" gesture. They just do not understand , and feel threatend . ANd I believe all Yorkies are different and some are a lot more sensitive . It is the temperment of the dog. Try to explain to Boyfriend to move slower so Fletcher does not feel like he is in "danger" .
Suzi also hates the noise of the vaccume, she runs off, so does my son. LOL .
