Every once in a while Callie does this too. She just gets to stressed out for whatever reason and just needs her alone time.

In the end it's a pack thing and you are part of the pack, and you are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger than they are, so every once in a while it kicks in, maybe on approach (Mika doesn't cower, she just runs from you and makes a fool out of you with her NFL maneuvers).

The same thing that makes you able to get them to come or sit or do this or that just kicks in. If you KNOW you haven't abused your dog, they know it too. It's a dog thing, don't take it personally.

But as a parent, I bet you don't want "company" to see that because they might think you are an abusive parent. LOL

Try getting on the floor at their level and you'll probably be looked at in a whole new way!

If you approach your baby from the front and bend over, you seem really huge and a little scary to them. Approaching a dog face-to-face is more of an aggressive move than approaching them from the side. Try it next time and approach your yorkie from the side and get close to the ground. You should get a totally different reaction!

that just made me sad.

All this cowering makes me feel like I'm missing it somewhere and maybe she would be happier with someone else. Maybe I'm just not cut out for such a small dog...I feel like a meanie.

Just curious how old she is? Could she be in a fear stage right now?

All of these are great examples and ideas...yes when I'm on the floor I become a big toy (no fear) and we have a great time...I knew she wasnt afraid of me...I think I must have just startled her yesterday afternoon.
Thanks all of you !!! You folks are great!!
