Most of the time it is cute and laughable. It is annoying in the middle of the night if you get up to use the bathroom and they all get up with you - thinking it is morning and time to play. Or when you and your spouse want some "private time" and the dogs are trying to pound the bedroom door down.

Ours are quiet if we kennel them, but we used to have a Yorkie who was not. To have privacy, we had to put her in the back seat of our car in the garage. The garage was heated and cooled, so she was comfortable, but very pissed off.

LOL when My Husband and I want private time ours are right there with us also

Lol My Dax follows me everywhere.... if I get up in the night to use the BR he still follows me... I also have a Maltese and she stays right on the bed even tho she is as least as attached to me as dax. Sometimes when it's cold I wish he would just keep my spot warm while I go alone lol. I will not leave the room when they are eating as I am afraid he would follow me and Darla would eat his food. If your dog is a yorkie baby do not expect this to stop. I think thats one reason Dax gets so sad when I leave cause he cannot follow. Also the post that talks about "no secret exit from the batroom".... hilarious

All three of my babies follow me and my husband around all the time. They have to be with us at all times. Its cute, and you just get use to it.

Diego · 09-25-2008, 07:33 AM

The day Nathan and Frimousse will stop following me , I'll ask myself lots of questions .

Darlin Beauxs · 09-25-2008, 07:52 AM

I think the cutest thing mine do is when Daddy gets up for work in the morning, they walk to the edge of the bed and look. Baxter has to get down and see his Dad off..then he comes back to the bed and barks LOUDLY to announce he wants back in bed.

Cooper and Darcy stick to me like glue. When I am the first one to get up, and I am getting everyone out of bed for "potty" Baxter will jump over his Dad and curl up against his back, as if to say "I'm not getting up yet, Mom!"

I sometimes walk over to the other side of the bed, just to see him get aggravated, and jump over to the other side of his Dad. Bad Mommy, I know

celstu1 · 09-25-2008, 10:41 AM

both my babies follow me all the time, get up out of sleep to follow me from the bedroom to the bathroom. Just how it goes. They are over 3 years old and have always done this.

I love it! (well most of the time) LOL soooo does pita stand for pain in the a--??? LOL (kidding!)

tiggerr36792 · 09-25-2008, 10:46 AM

I don't think they ever stop following us around. Mine make me feel like the pied piper all the time. Mine won't even go into the kitchen for breakfast unless I call them in there, Gloria calls them and they look at me like welll Mom you go in there first,lol.

Is there a time when I can let him have full range of the house as a puppy so that he will learn to follow me everywhere?

You don't need to train them to follow you, they do it instinctually.

My boys have full run of the house, they always did. Even as pups. (granted I have a pretty small house) but I had to carry them up stairs until they were about 4 months old. When you are not home though make sure you keep your pup crated though, for his own safety and the safety of your house! Trust me!

My pack follows me everywhere but my GOLDEN is the worst about it! She doesn't follow me per se.....she walks in front of me, but she walks BACKWARDS so she can anticipate my every step, she can even walk up the stairs backwards! She tends to walk next to me going down the stairs though. If I get up in the night to go to the bathroom they all wake up and the Golden, Husky and Jack Russell/Miniature Pinscher follow me, but Gwen (the lone Yorkie) sits on the end of the bed and watches me, if I'm gone for more than a minute she hops off the bed and comes to check on me....even though she can SEE me! Then goes right back to bed and sits on Daddy's feet waiting on me to come back! They're all crazy! If I stand up from my desk and sit right back down they all stand up! It's too funny!

LoveMyJake · 09-25-2008, 11:41 AM

Both of mine follow me everywhere, ALWAYS. If I'm sitting down, one is always on my lap and the other is right next to me. Sometimes they are both on my lap. If I'm up and moving, they follow me. If I get up in the middle of the night, Jake stays asleep in bed. He knows I'll be right back. However, Jackson will follow me, half asleep. He has to be with me at ALL times. Right now, one is on my lap and the other is sleeping with his head on my foot lol.

Yorkies get VERY attached to their owners.

lreed · 09-25-2008, 11:44 AM

My 3 Yorkies follow me everywhere also. It gets really tricky sometimes when nature is calling really loud and you have to wait for ALL of the group to get into the bathroom before you can tend to things....I have wet my pants a little bit at this point! Not a good thing!

YorkieLover9 · 09-25-2008, 11:46 AM

That's for sure. If Canyon's not right on my heels, I know he's up to mischief somewhere and I better go look. Only thing is, we get used to them following us, I've been out in public in a store and have looked down at the ground before I took a step to make sure Canyon wasn't under my feet and he wasn't even with me.

kwaymon · 09-25-2008, 02:14 PM

Yes! I love it! I love that Tucker follows me everywere. It makes me feel so good and I don't feel guilty about disturbing his sleep because he naps all day anyway! The only place he won't follow me is into the bathroom because he knows that's where he gets his bath and his teeth brushed and he hates that!!!
