Thank you everyone for your more positive replys haha! I think i got a little upset last night when everyone started saying it was my bf because he honestly loves bailey just as much as me.. sometimes more i think lol. We give bailey alot of attention and yes he has learnt that crying gets him more attention. If i didnt care about my yorkie and love him very much do you really think i would be on here looking for help and advice.
He is not ill or anything like that, he went to the vets last week for a check up and i told the vet what he is doing and he also said he is just wanting attention and i need to break the habit.
I am going to carry on ignoring him when he cries. I normally give in and let him sleep on me while i stroke him but its just making him worse to the point i cant even eat my tea lol. What a clever little furbutt he is. The past 2 months he has drove me crazy but last night when i started to ignore him alittle he didnt cry as much ....and at one point he lay on the floor and went to sleep..... HE HAS NEVER DONE THAT IN SUCH A LONG TIME!!!! He will normally only go to sleep in his bed or on me  So maybe this ignoring his whining is working. |
hey there - I posted earlier and did think that all these changes came suddenly - now you posted more details and i understand....he's learned that whing is a way to get your attention and maybe that's why it all started just recently - the only thing I did notice is he's able to be on furniture when the BF isn't there - but yes when it's just you ? That can be a bit confusing for any dog....but in time maybe you'll find a solution - constant whining would get on my nerves also but like I posted - my oldest is just bossy and I tell her to 'stop' when she goes a bit far and normally she does - also telling her to 'lay down' helps..
