About to sell my yorkie, need help! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mscat · 07-23-2009, 12:41 PM

Often times a male yorkie will attach itself to a female in the house, and a female yorkie to a male in the house. I did not know this myself , and brought home my Suzi. She is a little sweetheart. However, when my brother comes over, she totally forgets all abot me, and adores him , it's all about my brother. So I guess their is a bit of truth in this.
If i were you, I would start praising your little guy all the time with everything positive. No more physical punishment. Give hime lots of safe treats, spend time playing with him, try winning back his trust. This will take time. But, it will happen. You do the feeding. Talk inn a softer voice, calmer voice. Sit on the floor. Your going to need to really have to undo the fear in your dog . Your going to need to try to have him trust you again. Take it slow, and with great patience, and at your dogs level, let him do all the moves, don't force him to come to you or anything or touch him . All the touching you to to your yorkie from now on has to be gentle , petting, soothing and nice. No more rough, or spanking him , no more of that. it does not work on these tiny breeds. They feel it , and it just terrifies them, Yorkies are very skiddish , and tings like that make them scared very fast .I hope you can undo the emotional damage.

I hope all works out but please if you cannot find him a home there are lots of us who would gladly take that prince off you hands. But with all that said please try to not try so hard I find out off the people I'm around the ones who don't try are the ones who end up with all the love let it happen naturally.

There have been alot of great suggestions here for you, I feel the training is very much in need here. If you find that you absolutily can't repair the realstionship, which will take time to heal, you should consider to give him to our GF first if that is a possibility, and if you can't make a break through please find him a good home with lots of love. This was the sadiest post I have read.

Many people have suggested placing the dog with his girlfriend, but if you read the OP's first post, the girlfriend lives in a different country and is only visiting for a month.

Is it not possible to fly a dog to a different country? I thought that it was OK if vaccinations are all up to date.

Depending on the country, a quarantine may be required.

I firmly believe you can train a dog to do pretty much anything. Remember, our perceptions of scary behavior and dogs' perceptions can be very different. Thor hates our cleaning man because he wheels a big, noisy trash can around. We may not think that's dangerous, but to Thor, someone yelling at him for no reason is scary, and big rolling trash cans are scary. That's his world.

Similarly, other things we humans would be disgusted by, someone forcing us to smell pee or poop, I don't think this is such a big deal to dogs. They LIKE smelling these things, though that doesn't mean they want their nose rubbed in it. Don't worry, I would never do this, but comparing a dog's reaction to this and a human's doesn't make sense because we are so different in this regard.

Very often a dog will decide he doesn't like a certain family member, sometimes for what we consider good reason, sometimes not. Training a dog to be calm around skateboards is similar to training a dog not to bark at other dogs, or trust men. They can all be done, with patience and understanding of the doggie perspective.

how sad that the OP hasn't replied. I guess we'll never know if she's read the posts or whats going on with her and her little boy.
I wish them the best. I hate the thought of a little yorkie being verbally and emotionally abused.

I don't know what to say after reading this horrific story. I just bought a 2 yr old
and 3 lb sweetest angel I have seen. Absolutly no barking. I love it. What makes her eve cuter is watching her as the doorbell rings. Instead of a bark, she gets me to put her down off the couch so that she can run to the door to see who's there all at the same time of no barking. When she sees that it's my kids friends, she does a circle dance for them. That is her way of saying Pick me up and let's go play.

According to Niyah's previous owner, Niyah would use pee pads but since I've got her this week, she likes to go outside and believe me, that is some of the greatest ideas I have heard.

Although I am not crazy about the way you have treated him, there is hope for you.

What I suggest for you to do is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This guy can't be serious. Did you notice his name? BTK was a serial killer. (Bind, Torture, Kill) If he identifies with him enough to use his name then he's not the type of person who should have any dog let alone a yorkie.

OMG just realized that when you said something, that's awful, i reported him because that right there is enough for me to realize he's not serious about treating our pups right, i hope the admin at least makes him change his login. do you think he might have only posted to rile us all up???

The jist of his post made me feel that the pup needed to be far away from him. This is why I suggested he give the dog to his girlfriend. Other posters seemed to think it was unfair to suggest rehoming it again, but I always follow my gut instinct.
