 Question
I have had my yorkie for a little over a month. She is 6 1/2 we have found out from our vet. The previous owner told us she was 3 1/2. According to vet records she is 6 1/2 not that it matters too much to us we love either way. They decided to give her away because she didn't socialize with the family much anymore after they brought a couple more dogs in the house so thought she would do better in a single dog family. I don't think she was always treated very nicely as she still acts scared at times. For example, when you go to pet her or pick her up her initial reaction is to cower. She still likes to lay in her dog bed most of the time and doesn't interact much with us. She will sit with you on the couch sometimes but you always have to go over to her bed to get her to do so. She doesn't play with her toys much but will occasionally and when she does, she really seems to enjoy them. How do we get her to interact more with us? Or do I just need to give her more time to adjust? |
