Im so sad - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My female yorkie will be 4 in october. She was fine up until a sudden and drastic change in her behavior. She is shaking and does not want to go outside and is very nervous. It would almost seem like she is afraid of an animal outside but we always go with her. She gets outside and then makes a mad dash back to the door of the house, she is always on a leash.
She seems like a different dog and we are very sad at this. She does not want to play anymore.
This just started about a week ago. Please advise me with some answers and help. Thank you...michael

Hi and Welcome to YT!

We're adding onto an old thread here, so if you don't get more responses, try starting a new thread.

As for your pup, any change in behavior should be evaluated by your vet. Many things can cause the behaviors you've described, but a thorough check will need to be done before any retraining is attempted. I would get her an appt ASAP, like tomorrow or Monday, if possible, as this has been going on for a week now. You don't want to wait too much longer, as she seems uncomfortable and may be in pain. Consider an Emergency Vet if she starts acting any worse. Good Luck, and let us know how she does at the vet's.

Something must have scared her recently. perhaps a snake or maybe she was bitten by ants or some other crawly while outside. You might try taking her to a nice grassy quiet park and see how she does there.

If it was something your son did unintentionally to scare her, have him regain her trust by spending time with the pup in a safe environment and let him be the one to give treats. Would it help to have him on the floor and level with her so he isn't standing and your pup may be intimidated? Good luck!!!
