It’s great to see another person from Alberta here on yorkietalk. I’m from up north in Grande Prairie. I’d think a number of classes would be a good start to tackle the behavioural issues. I’ve done many classes with my yorkies through the years. Manners classes, obedience, etc. There’s tons of different classes and they all help with lots of different things. Or even private classes with a really good trainer might be ideal just to get more specific help on the issues you’re dealing with.
I’m sorry to hear about the health issues. I’m not a geneticist but if it’s congenital it’s obviously meaning born that way. Hopefully it was just a suspicion and isn’t the case. The shaking sounds off to me. We both live in the same cold, windy, dusty province. So I kinda disagree with what was previously suggested - I can’t see it having anything to do with being cold unless you keep the temp really low in your home. Even when my yorkies were out playing in the snow, they wouldn’t start shaking until 5mins or so had passed in time outside. I never saw shaking inside the house even on the coldest winter days. |
