I went to puppy course with my other yorkie Snickers.. he was not so cuddly in the beginning,. and cpuld be pretty stuborn, but he was a very fast learner.. and when i took time to sit one on one with him and every day a 20 min training he did soooo much better.
your baby is very small too and i got snickers when he was 8 weeks too. very young., but in the Netherlands its normal.
Be patient.. and remember she is only 13 weeks.
Sometimes it also helps when you ignore her not to pick her up.
Then in my expericence.. they come to ou to get the attention.
Reward her when she is relaxed on your lap with a small tread.. (just her food or something) and also praise her when she is coming to you.
They are very smart.. and I know for sure you will love everyday more and more. some babies take more time.. but at the end it worth it to have the patient.
Good luck!

They stayed with me for almost a week and her pup was with me all day long. She followed me around and laid down on my lap when I was relaxing and was so sweet that I got attached to her. At the time I thought all yorkies had the same temperament. She'd come when I called her and when they left for their new home I felt the loss. So I told my husband that's what I wanted for Mother's Day. I saw and held Zoe for a few times within the couple of weeks before taking her home but I guess she was too young for her true personality to come thru. I guess...but I'm not sure.. I did read lots and lots about yorkies before I actually picked her up but everything I read suggested they were mild mannered little lap dogs. One even said if you wanted a lapdog to get a yorkie. So I thought that was going to be the case..But my little Zoe dashes about like she's on a mission...I do love her...but lapdog she isn't!! LOL |
