She's a very anxious dog and she's terrified of men. She's had a Thundershirt for about 6 months that she wears pretty much all of the time. I won't say it's helped her 100% but it definitely seems to have lessened her anxiety. This is Lily in her Thundershirt. Attachment 395846
As far as getting another dog, have you thought about getting a male Yorkie instead of a female. I have 2 boy Yorkies and 2 girl Yorkies and maybe it's just my group but both of my girls get along better with the boys than they do each other. |
Penny's only anxious if she thinks I'm leaving her, but I will definitely look into Thundershirts to see if that helps her when I'm getting ready to go somewhere. Thank you!
I have thought about getting a male, but I'm worried a male would mark around the house. I also figured girls would do better with girls... but I guess that's not always the case?
