Didn't have a chance yesterday to try this out with Charlie (
wife getting ready to run down to the Grandkids). When she gets back we will give it a try and report how it goes.

Then he waits for me to make the most subtle movement to the door and he attacks me. He gets aggressive, barks, unties my shoelaces, tries to pull me back with his front paws and teeth. So, that treat idea fell apart. So now I give him a treat and take the basement door and he (so far has not caught on) sees it okay as if I am going to the basement to do a project or head outside in the yard for some yard work. Yeah, I bet a lot of other Yorkie owners have the same "problem". I can sympathize with my Yorkie-he has no playmate and I can only imagine how lonely he gets without me there. I will get him a playmate soon. My Yorkie "Mr Bean O" is 14 months old, weighs 15 pounds lucky for me does not bark in the car but he is afraid of a car ride too and presses right up against me for comfort. |
Amazing how smart these Yorkie's are! Charlie is holding at 3lb 6oz and when we do have to take him to the Doctor's Office, etc. - we put him in a American Kennel Club Pet Booster Seat. We use to carry him in a Sherpa Metropolitan Tote Bag (
on the wife's lap) but when he gets to screaming the wife can't handle him and the case. The American Kennel Club Pet Booster Seat is right behind us next to the window. I have even tried lowering the window, etc. Heck, last week we tried "
holding" but when he gets into that
screaming mode - the wife can't hold him - nothing seems to work.
when we are getting ready to go - he always runs over to his Sherpa Metropolitan Tote Bag and jumps in ready to go with us - sure wish we could sit down and talk to him about his screaming - but, he just looks at ya and jumps back out when he realizes we aren't taking him. Every few weeks we try taking him again but it always ends up with his screaming...
