My suggestion would be to get down on the ground with her. Use really good treats and just keep working with her. When she is by you and on your lap treats then as well. If you are worried about weight gain either cut back on her food and/or use Cheerios. 
It is hard when they did not learn these skills as a puppy. Bogey is just like Gracie but he had Dbug's who is a well adjusted puppy to teach him all of the ropes once he came to us. He still does not play with toys the way the Dbug's does but he will interact with him, run and romping around the house and yard. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tra...nt-advice.html |
Thanks Jodi, Stupid me didn't even think about looking there.
Gracie is going to the vet tomorrow. She has started yelping once in a great while but we can't catch what she is doing when she yelps. Last night she started to shiver when I got to her shoulder as I did her nightly massage. She isn't limping and showing no other signs but I don't like it. Wish I could get her in sooner.
