[QUOTE=jank]I agree! I think rather than put him in the garage I would look for another good home for him where he is the only dog and no young children. I once had a shih-tzu like that and it was a very stressful situation for me. I tried everything. Professional training, drugs, (which made her like a zombi), time-outs, you name it, I tried it. I finally decided it would be best for me and her to find a home where she was the only dog. I called the Shih-Tzu rescue but kept her at my home until I found the perfect person for her. She now lives with an older lady who is a widow and absolutely loves dogs and loves Gracie to pieces. It has been two years now and we still write each other and talk on the phone. Gracie is so spoiled by this woman and her friends and I am so happy I made that decision. I interviewed a few people before deciding so it made the decision to give her up a little easier when I new she was going to a good home. I also made sure that she would give her back to me if for some reason it did not work out. I was very lucky to find this person and you should be able to if you take your time.



I hope I didn't hurt your feelings but even small dogs can do a lot of damage to a small baby and I understand your concern. So even though you really love your yorkie rather than put him in the garage by himself I think he would be much happier with someone who can shower him with love and attention.[/QUOTE
