Hi! I'm a new Yorkie mom, and new to this forum. I have owned dogs before, but never a small dog...I had labs and a German Shephard. This is definitely a new experience for me! My little guy's name is Jack...he is about 7 months old. I've had him for about 3 weeks now, and I just love him!

Part of why I joined this forum was for some advice. Jack is not your typical Yorkie...he is so happy to be a lapdog! The thing is, he isn't comfortable with anyone else in the household, including my husband. He acts very scared of him. It is very difficult to get Jack to go potty outside if dh takes him out. Why is that, and what do I do about it??

Thanks in advance for ANY advice you have!!
