How old is she? When you picked her out was she playful, responsive, how were her litter mates? I would give her a day to adjust, occasional touching and other interaction but watch for stress, shaking, pounding heart beat.
Get to Vet for wellness exam as soon as possible and so Vet can check shot record and advise.
Think about things from puppies viewpoint, lost litter mates strange new big people and surroundings. Most puppies adapt within in a few days, Vet can advise.
But as a new pup owner, read up on dogs in general and Yorkies. The biggest mistake new dog owners make is treating a puppy as they would a human baby, this can lead to serious problems with the puppy. You need to establish equal dominance so pup knows all family members out rank her. Spend the effort to potty train immediately, for 5 days to a week never allow pup to have a uncontrolled second that she could pee or poop in a no no place. Get a crate, pen or blocked off area when you need a rest or can't watch her. Read up on crate training, separation anxiety, Dogs are pack animals so separation anxiety is a natural problem. If dealt with from first week (after adjustment period) and done properly, you will have a happy well adjusted pup and peace of mind if you have to leave her for a short period or hotel room.
Most, if not all pup problems can be traced back to he owners/people, dogs need boundaries, rules, pack leader to be happy, well adjusted. Yorkies are smart, easy to train if you treat them like a dog. The problem with Yorkies is the "Cute" factor, you think she's so cute you let her get away with stuff. |
