I didn't get a lapdog at all :( my yorkie is almost 16 weeks old so he is teething and hasn't been neutered yet so I'm hoping that is a factor. my puppy is either chewing me or something else and is running around like a crazy dog OR sleeping. there is no in between of him cuddling and just sitting on my lap. Once in a while he'll lay next to me on the couch but will eventually move b/c i think its uncomfortable for him. I let him sleep with me also and he'll start off sleeping next to me but only for like 3 minutes and then he'll move. He does follow me every where as I mentioned in the other thread but there's no cuddling for a prolonged time. will he start to calm down and just be a lapdog??? that's why I really wanted a yorkie b/c they're so cute and affectionate lap dogs. |
He's just being a puppy! You need to be patient. He'll start to calm down as he gets older.. Franklin was noticeably calmer and cuddlier around 8 months. |
Well he is still puppy...but not all yorkies are lap dogs. Ramsey will lay by me...but rarely wants in my lap ever. Reggie is my lap baby. |
;)When Daizy was younger she didn't want to stay on my lap either.....and then my sister would come over and she would just hold her Sophie in her arms and that little stink would just stay in her arms quiet as could be..and eventually her head would drop and she'd fall asleep!!! So I asked her what she did...she said she just help Sophie..whether she liked it or not ....and eventually she just became more tolerant of it. So I started holding Daizy for longer periods of time...even walking around with her in my arms...and now she will lay on my lap as long as I want her too....But I had to get her used to it ......although I would make sure that you let your little one play alot before you try it.....if it's tired...they will be more tolerant....eventually....lol hope it helps! |
Most yorkies are not lap dogs. They are terriers in a toy package :) |
Yeah, I remember thinking the same thing with Eddie. He was going a mile a minute. But at about a year, he started to mellow out. And occasionally, he'll grace me with a cuddle or two. Jack, on the other hand, lives on my lap. |
Ah puppyhood! :) He will come down as he will get older. My Maxi was crazy as a puppy. Now 1 year later he demands to be on my lap :rolleyes: |
I use to think the same thing when Meeko was younger. It just taked a while for them to calm down. Meeko is 11 months now and I can't get him away from me. He has to be touchin me at all times. After he's nuetered and not worrying about chasing females you'll start to see him getting better. Don't worry, it'll happen. :D |
well i have to say i must be one of the lucky ones...cause from day 1 that i brought Pasquale home...he has always been a cuddler. In fact, he's sleeping in my lap right now as i type. He even cuddles with my husband! I would say just try to hold him as much as possible so he can get use to it. |
Chip calmed down after his neuter. He was a cuddler when we brought him home (at 7.5 weeks) and that lasted for about 3 weeks or so, then he was a little heathen (I say that with love), and after he was about 8 months when we got him neutered and his vaccine reactions, he calmed down. It seemed like after the last time he got seriously sick was when he calmed down... they had to give him a steroid shot. Smokey was already fairly calm from the time we got him at 6 months. |
Baxter is 9 months old and neutered and still wild. The only time he wants to be a lap dog is if he has been playing with my sister's dog and is just completely tired out. Otherwise, he's wide open. |
I think they all have different personalities, and some are just more "terrier" like than others. Bailey is a whirlwind!!!!! He is a love and very affectionate, but he has things to do! The rest of my "herd" is a mix. They are also different ages. A puppy is certainly going to be more active! |
Not all of them are lap dogs one of mine isnt but the other one is. I think it depends on the yorkies personality |
I'm thinking about age 2! Good Luck! Puppies can be exhausting!! |
Max is all terrier. He has caught two small possums, a chipmunk (ewww) and is constantly chasing things in the yard or looking for things to chase. He will sit by me for short periods of time but he's too busy to cuddle. Even when I pick him up and try to steal a hug, he starts attacking the collar of my shirt or butting my cheek with his head. He's a mess...and then some! :rolleyes: |
