New to Yorkies Hi, I'm so glad to find this site. I just adopted a 10 mo. old Yorkie male and he is a joy. I have 2 females, a Shih Tzu and a terrier mix and they have accepted the little guy with open paws. I named him Scooter and he's quite the charmer. He had a tough beginning in life as he was "owned" by two different families both which had lots of little kids who terrorized him. He now is very afraid of any person or animal that he sees when he is outside for a walk. He's so afraid that he actually screams. I try not to baby or shelter him when he does this so I don't reinforce his fears but he's still very frightened. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I absolutely adore him and I want him to have a beautiful life with me and his new "sisters". |
First, welcome to YT! On behalf of rescued yorkies everywhere, thank you for giving your little guy a chance a better life! It sounds like you are off to a good start. Can you set up some meetings with "strangers" (to him) that will go calmly and well? Just a thought. Also, consider getting a professional (behaviorist, trainer, etc.) to work with you. He's still so young, I would think he could have a complete "recovery", so to speak. Good luck, and post pics when you get a minute!!! |
Welcome to yt. Bless your heart for taking in the little guy. Maybe with time he won't be quite so afraid. |
