I just came upon this post & am going through the same thing with our 4 year old yorkie. She use to go to anyone but since moving a year ago it's like she's afraid of everyone. We've tried the reward system & she's doing better on walks but as soon as someone approaches her she will bark & lunge. I'm so afraid she will bite them. She's so calm & laid back at home & even with company once she gets to know them. Feeling frustrated. I love her to pieces & am thinking I need to get her back into a training class for more socialization. |
