I'm...A...Meanie I guess. I am sadden cause this afternoon :( Furgie was running and playing after DGD left to go home, anyways I got up from the PC and as Furgie rounded the corner she cowered as if I was going to hit her or as if she wasn't happy to see me... Shrug! :confused: that just made me sad. :cry: Right now she is sleeping right between me and the keyboard... this is our normal everyday thing. :cool: I know she enjoys being with me and I also know she just came out of a fear stage but, somethings when I go to pick her up or bend over to pet her she will cower a bit. I know she isn't scare of me 99 % of the time...but sometimes she acts this way and I don't understand. :cry: Is this normal...do you all have a Yorkie like this....she seams a bit too timed to me. 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. :cry: :cry: |
My Izzy is like that too, and I don't know why either:cry: |
i know EXACTLY how you feel.. Layla cowers too... if you didn't know any better you'd say she was an abused animal.. but she honest to god isn't.. i can't figure it out.... i'll go to pick her up or just pet her and she cowers.. i'm worried some people will get the wrong idea.. but i have no idea what caused this or how to fix it.. dont' worry.. you aren't alone |
Its okay I have one that does that too and it is just her personality. Shes 3 yrs old and has always been that way and My Husband and I have never even spoken harshly to her so theres no rhyme or reason to why she is like that. She is also a more nervous dog than my male yorkie. She even gets nervous when we rearrange the furniture. Go figure. You just have to love them for their own persnality |
All three of mine do that too. The only thing I can think of (or maybe just to make me feel better) is to try to see me as she does, this HUGE thing is leaning towards me!!!!!! Then again they may be submissive because I'm the leader of this pack. Who knows, when mine do that I just pet them and walk away, they usually jump up and run after me |
Murfee does that too. |
Thanks Izzy's Momma for letting me know I'm not alone!!.... Marcerella I see you have 2 is the other not this way? Weird then I say... chachi thanks to you too...I'm staring to feel better. Yes I did notice that she noticed that something knew was in the house...I was like cool smart dog... altigger...wow all three...I know I'm feeling better. shewwwww! Oh wait...submissive, hmmm leader of the pack?...now that may be it...and if so goooood girl...No! I don't like it....get up and jump and be happy with me. I couldn't keep my schnauzer off me...those little jumper. Thanks Patty you all are so kind to let a fellow YT member know they are not alone. I am feeling all better now! |

Since this thread I've paid closer attention to what they do. If I go to them they cower down if I let them come to me then they are kissy and hyper. |
I havent posted here in a long time.......so much going on in my world....my Peanut is precious though! He also does this cowaring and it worried me too because like someone else posted, if you didnt know it you would think he was abused! And he is NOT, he is treated very well lol. My kids and my husband get jealous of him, Ive never loved an animal and Ive had other dogs, purebred at that, but none has ever compared to peanut! He is just precious....... Kelly |
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!:D |

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! |

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!! |
Born 1st of Sept sooo 17 weeks? OMG she's getting close to 5 months! |
