Angry yorkie! Every time I leave to go somewhere and Illy isn't coming with me, she throws a huge fit. She barks and nips at me and even bit my sister the other day. It starts as soon as she hears me pick up my keys. I can barely get out of the door without her escaping! Does anyone else's act like this? She is never left home alone for more than an hour at a time. I'm not sure how to fix this. Can someone please help? |
Sorry to hear that your experiencing this problem. Do you give your furbaby treats before you leave? Perhaps giving them a Kong with peanut butter w/ cheerios may help with the anxiety. |
I tried that, but then I read that it's rewarding the bad behavior. :( |
My little Raindrop does that. Not the biting part, but has a fit when I grab my keys and head for the door. She starts jumping around, and makes me feel bad that I am not taking her. I think it's because I was taking her all the time with me, and now when I know I am going places she cannot go, I have to say to her, NO Raindrop, you cannot go. She will jump up and down like she is trying to convince me. I think the biting part that your dog is doing, is just to get you to stay. |
Zoeybear has a screaming fit when DH leaves. She literally screams. |
Yep, Adie is like that and when I leave for work on Monday mornings my DH says she pouts and mopes around for hours. She has usually gotten used to it by Tuesday but she still pitches a fit every time I leave the house. If I tell her to "no" she will stop and slink off. I feel so guilty because I know she just wants to be with me. |
My yorkie usually attacks her toys when she know I'm about to leave out. She growls at them and have bitten parts of them off. |

Daisy stomps her front paws and barks at me, as soon as I pick up my keys. I tell her NO and she backs off and runs to the front window to watch me pull out of the driveway. Of course I feel terrible then, but I can't always take them with me. Does your dog know "sit"? Tell her no and make her sit. |
Yes she knows sit, but refuses to do it when she is all worked up like that. |
Have you tried distracting her so that she doesn't realize you are leaving?? It might not be as dramatic if she doesn't know your leaving... |

Daisy pitches a fit when I leave. As soon as she hears my keys, she will start grabbing my pant legs. She is very happy to see me when I get home from work, but definitely lets me know she doesn't like me to leave her. Now, if I go outside for just a second (even to take the trash out and come right back), she starts biting my pant legs to let me know that she wasn't happy that I left her inside. They definitely have a personality!! |
My Coco does the same thing. He bites at my pant legs. If I just stand at the door to watch my son go to the bus stop he goes nuts. my son can hardly get out the door. I have another yorkie so he is not alone so thats not it. That is the only time that he is aggressive. He just doesnt want you to leave. :aimeeyork COCO :aimeeyork PEBBLES |
