I don't understand... My 8-month old girl knows her name. I know it because she stares at me when I call her. But she wouldn't come to me when I call her. She just stands there and look at me. When I come near her pen to pick her up I call her name but she won't go near me. And when I walk away from the pen she runs and jumps on the pen towards my direction. When I go near again she walks back away from me again and so on... Can anyone please help me understand her behavior? |

My Jack can be very stubborn :rolleyes:. Thats just the way Yorkies are from what I've heard. Our lab/cow dog mix chases cows and Jack picked that up from her. We keep her on a zip line now, but Jack still chases the cows. I am so scared he's going to get hurt. When he did it last night I kept yelling his name for him to come back but he wouldn't come. He knows his name too, he's just very stubborn at times. He's still my baby though. Just normal behaviour I guess. :animal36 |
Typical yorkie behavior for sure!!!! Both my girls do this to this day, and they are 7 & 9 years old. It's their way or no way. lol |
I trained KiKi to come to me using treats....now when I say "KiKi come" she will come to me (and sometimes I still give her a treat or lots of praise and affection).....it took a bit of training...each and every time I said "KiKi come"....I would give her a treat when she came and said good girl...good come...I started by doing this in the house..I would hide and call her...then I did the same outside. Good Luck! |
I've also found that when I go and sit down in a chair or on the couch she'll jump right up into my lap. She just gets funny at times about anyone swooping down to scoop her up. She'll even be standing on my leg digging at it like she wants me to pick her up and when I reach down (not always) she'll jump back. I can't figure her out sometimes lol!! |
Treats might help, but if they don't work I'd try training classes. It's really important that they come when called. |
That is a typical yorkie behavior. :D I found that treats work wonders to teach them to come to you. It is very important to teach your baby to stay and come. Here is a link to teach your dog tricks:Dog Training and Obedience Lessons At the bottom of the page there are links with commands. There is a come and stay command there. ;) |
I have the same problem with Asha. She loves to do it too! I agree, treats seem to work. Typical yorkie behavior!:D |
That's a yorkie for you. They are very independent and and they listen when they want to. they do get better after the age of 2. So just consider them to be stuborn children. |

Koda does the same thing when he gets out and i call for him.. he just stands there and looks at me.. when i walk toward him, sometimes he will run, and sometimes he just sits there and waits for me to come to him and pick him up |
How do you hide from a Yorkie? Quote:
Hiding from your Yorkie has to be difficult in itself LOL :) K-Angel -- I have the problem with Bentley too. He just sits and stares at me as if I am a complete fool. My neighbor (who went to training with her dog) told me to look at Bentley while running backwards and to call him, then give them a treat when you stop because WALA! he is right there with you. Apparently her trainer told her that no dog can resist a good chase :doghop: LOL. Several times a day I will just start running backwards and calling his name. Not sure if this will be helpful to you but I have been doing it with Bentley a bit and it seems to be helping (at least until we can get into a good training class ourselves). WARNING: take a good look where your going before you start backing up! Yeah... that is another discussion topic! HA HA HA:lol tears Peggy (a.k.a. Bentleys momma) :yorkietal |
Mine also does this. I tought him to "give me butt". He will then kinda lay down, do a "curl" and put his butt in the air. I give his butt a good scratch and pick him up! |
