My yorkie is afraid of everything, me, my husband, any loud noises. We can't get near 5 ft of her before she runs and hides. I can't tell if she's playing (cause she will chase us if we run but will stay 5-10ft away once we stop). It's very annoying because she doesn't come when called or when we just want to play/snuggle with her. She usually only comes near us when she wants to take naps on the couch. She's going on 5 months now and we got her at 10 weeks and I'm not sure what her conditions were like before (big issue with the breeder we got her from). I thought she might grow more attached but she hasn't. Is this just her personality or can I do anything so that she'll be more affectionate?
