Lizzie - 4 months old (who has been with us one whole week tomorrow!) barks as soon as they come in, wants me to pick her up, and hides behind me when they are trying to pet her. I figured it was because she was raised in a home, with a lady, and not around kids, but after reading here, maybe it is just "a yorkie"!! and while we are on the subject of who yorkies like and dislike - she seems to be leary of my husband - she backs off when he tries to pet her but will lie beside him on the couch. Does anyone think this is because of not being used to kids and men from birth to 4 months old? Should I make her sit on the grandkids laps, and hope she gets to like kids better? |
JMO, but I wouldn't force her to sit on ANYONE's lap. She'll learn soon enough from watch Mr. Darcy that the kids = fun (and maybe extra treats!) And if she doesn't, well that's just her personality and as long as she isn't snapping at or aggressive towards them, just let her be. We all have people we tolerate, but would never want to hang out with...dogs are no different.
