This isn't directly related to Yorkie behavior, but years ago I adopted two greyhounds. My female had been abused - apparently by a man wearing a baseball cap and carrying a stick. She would freak out whenever a man wearing a baseball cap came near her, and it took a long time for me to sweep the floor in her presence. There were other things that she had trouble with, but it took at least a year for her behavior to settle, and for her to begin trusting that we weren't going to hurt her. It just broke my heart. My advice is patience, patience, patience. |
