Rally need help with hyper excited rescue Yorkie I have a gorgeous yorkie rescued from the pound, however big concerns with some behaviour. I have had a much loved yorkie before and am familiar with reverse sneezing and tracheal collapse problems which is why Im so concerned about this little girl. On leaving the house the little dog (about 5 yrs old?) pulls like a train, she is so excited she cant breathe, she gasps, drools, makes awful breathless noises panting hard. Vet has checked her over and says this is behaviour no health issues. When we get to the park or forest she can be exhausted lying in the grass to recover- on the way back- different dog, walks calmly, breathes normally and is a pleasure to walk. Really lost as how to calm her, history isnt known, dont tink she had been excercised (pink pads on paws) or socialised (very dog reactive), Really need help as how to calm her on leaving house or i think she will do some damage to herself as the breathing is so traumatic. Any help or tips appreciated, think this was why she was sent to the pound. |
Welcome to YT, I do hope you are using a harness and not a collar. I suggest taking her to training school, they will teach you the tools you need to know so that you can properly train this pulling out of her. At one time I had a pack of 3 yorkies, all 3 years apart and all walked at the same time, all did the same crazy pulling but not to the extent of your little one that is so exhausted they are calm on the walk home. I could never train them not to pull so walks were not a pleasure for me lol. |
Need help hyper excited Yorkie. Thanks, I do use a harness and tried front looped one to but still same. Am really worried she could do herself harm.I did try training school but she's so reactive couldn't get very far as she just lunges in all directions at every dog. The trainer suggested we stand outside the fenced area where training occurs and give high value treats while she watched the dogs. We did this for 4 weeks getting closer to the classes week by week. as soon as we got to the entrance to the dog classes her breathing and panting were again so extreme and so distressed that we haven't got any closer. |

Maybe it would not hurt to get a second opinion by a vet, just to make sure their is not a health concern going on with her. Then I would seek out a professional dog trainer. |
