I would say maybe watch at your different dog parks for another yorkie owner, that maybe you could make friends with, so she could have play dates to get rid of all that pent up energy? It's really paid off for my Gizmo in a huge way. It's also helped me after he's tired out to teach him new commands, as he is more willing to listen and focus once he is tired. He now lays down on command, and it took me teaching him that one after he was tired out lol, but now that he knows the command, he is more willing to obey it at all times. His little yorkie girlfriend has been a life saver for me in training him :-) her name is cookie and she is also a rescue. What is funny is cookies owner said that cookie did not like playing with other dogs, but I guess yorkes have a thing for each other, because cookie just loves playing with my Gizmo xoxo. |
Beanie has a little Yorkie friend up the street that we see once in awhile, but when Micha charges up to her, she gets scared and tried to climb up on my head. I took her into PetSmart yesterday and there was a little yorkie that ran up to see her, but again she got scared. She isn't very dog socialized and I am trying to work on that in safe environments. There is a Yorkie meetup in my area that I have been trying to participate in, but the dates never work out for me.
I don't take her to dog parks around here, too many way too big and bad dogs. Oh my God, I just couldn't imagine letting her around them!!!
