I've hit the floor or fence with a newspaper as suggested by a YT post, but so far none of that has worked. Please help!

He is a very energetic yorkie and we have taken him out three times a day. There are lots of toys to play and other dog to keep him company. He is eating and drinking regularly. We don't know why he is so anxious. My initial belief is he is scared and confused because he is out of his natural element. Lots of change. I feel bad for him and have told him it's okay when he gets close to me, but after a while he begins to cry and whine.

I would try appreciate any suggestions. Tx!

Yorkies are not outside dog's. This poor sweet baby wants human attention. I would bark and whine all day if I had to stay outside all the time.
