 Are yorkies one owner dogs?
So my husband has his own dog (a lab boxer mix) and so I decided to get a dog too. I got Chaz my yorkie back in March. (This is the first dog I've ever had) Even though I try to spend as much time possible with Chaz, he gets SO excited when he sees my husband, and always goes and sits on my husband's lap, instead of mine whenever we are on the couch. I will pull him back over to me, but within a minute or so, he just moves back away from me.
Maybe I just don't know how to relate to him since this is my first dog. My husband tells me I have to treat him differently then I do my cats- like play with him instead of just petting him like I do my cats. I'm just getting frustrated because I don't even think my dog likes me. I don't want to give up on our relationship, but I don't want to have a dog that acts like he isn't mine. What do I need to do to make a connection with him? I don't punish him anymore for peeing in the house (which I mentioned in an earlier post and I won't flick him or yell anymore). I don't know if maybe I should get another puppy and start over. (give Chaz to my husband)What's the point of having a dog that doesn't even like me? I've never been a dog person so I don't even know if I will be good at this. (even though I love Chaz to death) Any advice? |
