Do you think she will ever warm up or do you think it is her personality? She follows me everywhere and sleeps on my bed at night and sits on my lap a lot... so i don't know what to think...
she was attacked by a coyote a month and half ago... I nearly lost her... but this has been going on since i got her. when she was attacked it broke my heart... i thought we lost her... i couldn't go thru losing another yorkie... but she pulled thru and did amazing... she is one tough cookie and I am so happy to have her! |
Patience. Bella chooses when she wants to come. It drives me nuts. I've never had a dog to do that. But I keep working with her. We've had for a 1 1/2 years now.
With the petting her, I read in a Yorkie book to start petting them under their little chins. Usually when I pet Bella on top of the head she bows out like I'm gonna beat her. It bothers me when she does that, then I read that and it's much better, she doesn't bow out now. Then I move to the top of her head.
