Dogs are very keen about reading our feelings. It could be that he is overwhelmed and nervous because he has a new family who has good intentions, but lots of expectations.

Relax, be yourselves, give him space. Don't hover. Talk to him while you are doing your normal routine.

Give him lots of praise. Yorkies tend to love praise.

Sit on the floor with your daughter and play with a dog toy with her. See if Thor comes closer.

Try trick training, but don't push him really hard. Make it fun.

When the weather allows, go for walks.

Definitely get to the vet to have a check on the loose stools.

Best wishes. Keep us updated.
