Does your Yorkie punch you? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gayle_T · 11-08-2008, 02:45 AM

Taylor is 2 1/2 and is our BIG baby. He is 12 lbs. He is so sweet, athletic and lovable. There is something that he does really surprises us though. He punches us! In the morning he punches when he wants his breakfast, he punches us when he wants to go for a walk. He is piddle pad trained but definitely lets us know it's walk time. He punches us when he wants his dinner, and even punches when he wants us to play. It's not that we are slow about his feedings, it's just his way of expressing what he wants and he wants it NOW! It is funny. I just wondered if anyone else has a furbaby that does this.

No, it's a PUNCH....right paw full force or sometimes a right left jab!

Reese is our "boxer". He paws us....and he paws his siblings. Sometimes with the other dogs...it looks more like "talk to the paw".

Jamie grabs you in the face with both paws ,don't you think yorkies paws are rather like bear claws.Shelby also used to do it,she would grab your face and slobber you all over.

Oh if it's time to get kisses and you try NOT to receive them...Ramsey will place a paw on either side of your face and hold you there. Hold still...you must get your kisses. LOL

Teddy does the digging affect with his front paws when he wants something, if your sitting on the couch he will come and paw your legs if this get no results he will then walk on the back of the couch and paw your hair. It's hard to know if he wants to be held or if he needs to go out, or if he just looking for a treat, he will also do this if the J.R. has one of his toys and she wont let him have it, if I pick him up thinking he wants to be held and he doesn't he will nip me and jump down. you almost have to be a mind reader.

AngieDoogles · 11-08-2008, 07:59 AM

Marty is laid back so he doesn't really do anything like that. He just looks at you with his big pleading eyes. Madeline "talks" to you to let you know that she wants something. The ways they find to communicate are just adorable!

Mitzis Mom · 11-08-2008, 08:14 AM

Mikki is our 'puncher'... she stands on both hind legs and thows her full 4.5 lbs. into a double punch...

If that doesn't work she 'digs' wherever she gets hold of us. If that doesn't work she whines like such a poor little animal in need that you can't resist.

Minnie, our diva, kisses and kisses and kisses and kisses...

Maggie talks and Maximus is just using his soulfull eyes and sometimes does a happy dance...

Brownie Abuses me all the time He hit's me so much !! I don't know where he learned it But it drives me crazy!

BubblPopElectrc · 11-08-2008, 09:57 AM

Noellie · 11-08-2008, 10:07 AM
