I have a 4 month old male yorkie and he is a drama king. For even simple things like brushing, picking him up, adjusting a collar, just everything he screams as if I am killing him. I heard they go through fear stages but I have had him for a month and he has not got any better. I've been working with him really hard to build up his confidence but nothing seems to work, he continues to scream when ever I do these things and once he starts screaming it takes a couple of minutes for him to calm down before he will quit. I have used all positive reinforcement so it can't be because I am harsh with him. It makes training so hard, even with simple things like teaching him to sit or lay down. Will he out grow this or do I need to do something else? If he will out grow this, how long will it take? I hope someone can help, because it is really frustrating.
