Is this the first terrier that you have ever had? The terrier personality is quite a bit different than other dogs. My little one is what you may consider a "pack leader." She barks when she wants something and she is quite bossy with the cats sometimes.
This dog has been re-homed at 7 years of age and I'm sure is quite confused and upset. You may want to try to comfort her and work at getting the two dogs to get along. I know you are feeling loyal to your dog but if she is going to live there she is your dog also. I would not expect a dog her age to adjust in a short period of time. You may want to research the Yorke breed as they are quite a bit different. I had dogs all my life but never one like Gracie. I had to learn how to train her differently than my other dogs. Yorkies don't respond well to many typical dog training techniques. |
