Wow, it's been awhile since I have been on.
I have a 10 1/2 month old yorkie, Bella, that we bought when she was 7 weeks old. She is like our 5th kid...I love her like a skin kid..lol But she does not do well around people. She sees my neighbors everyday, but will not let them pet her. If anyone tries to pet her she gets scared and snaps at them. Never biting, just a warning. She is very protective of me and my husband. If anyone come to the house she barks at them till they leave, she'll even do this really high pitched bark, it almost sounds like shes hurt.
She is also scared of other dogs with the exception of a friends yorkie. She stayed with them while we went on vacation and her yorkie has stayed with us, but he is the only dog she likes.
So I guess my question is....is this normal for a yorkie? And how can I fix this problem?
People come up to us all the time when we have her out and about, and I cant let them pet her without me having my hand near her face petting her because Im scared she is going to snip at them...please help...Thanks in advance!
