I agree to try to relocate the crate and see how that work

Supposedly they can but don't freak yourself out. I'm sure there is another explanation

I think they do see spirits/ghosts. Paco one day started barking and looking up towards the stair case and no one was up there, we were all down stairs.

Try relocating the crate to another spot, if possible closer to you so she doesn't feel alone.

Keep us posted.

I think dogs can sense spirits. We're right near a graveyard. A few times one particular night BOTH my dogs were staring into thin air growling. We checked everything out and we couldn't hear anything. It was pretty creepy!

I'm sorry I was "away" for a few days, something was wrong with the broadband, I couldn't online for a few days.

I've tried several times in this duration, including placing a rug/mat in front of her crate, but she still wouldn't want to come down. A day later my dad brought a stainless steel crate home, because she loved to bite the metal steel bar and recently I saw there's a few rusted bar so we have a stainless steel crate now. It's 1 foot tall from the floor, I have to carry her out every time, and she seems to be fine with the new crate, because she's no longer afraid to come near the door of the crate, and she looks so excited about the new bigger crate.

I thought it's a good thing, but at the same night, she barked non-stop, normally she would sleep whenever I switch off the light, but this time is different, she just barked and barked, growled sometimes, I said "NO" but she wouldn't care, she only wants me to sit with her all night long.

2 days ago, she barked non-stop again, I didn't know what to do, so I place her in a carrier, and put it in the living room. She quiet for a while and started to bark again. I really have no energy to deal with her, I let her bark for a while, later she stopped and fell asleep.

The next morning she looked so fine, but still bark a little. My mum said Sugar wouldn't bark in the afternoon when I'm at work. The same night she kept barking again, 1am... I hugged her, she looked so sleepy and slept in my arms, I sat until 3am, put her in the carrier again, she barked a while and fell asleep. I felt like crying..I couldn't do this everyday, I have to go to work everyday :'(

She never love to bark, that's why it's really uncommon these few days, she barked until her throat sore, voice became coarse but she just wouldn't stop...what can I do? :'(

I saw the Dogs101 show on Yorkies and they claim that they don't like being very far from their owners. See the thread on Yorkie shadows. Reesie is like that.

I always love walking through old graveyards....sometimes I take Lucky with me and there is this one graveyard where he goes just terribly playful!! I don't get it, he is fine in the others but it seems like he has the time of his life in this one yard!! Something there seems to like him!! I always say that it's not the dead we should be worried about it's the living!! lol

I've had a very weird experience with Jax one day.. My boyfriend and I were sitting on my bed watching TV and right at the very same time the space heater in my room turned on and the TV changed to channel 3 on its own. I didn't think anything of it because I figured it was some kind of power surge or glitch. Soon after my boyfriend left for work and I grabbed Jax to come lay in bed with me. As soon as we got in my room Jax got all stiff in my arms and started growling. I put him down on my bed and knelt against the bed. He would lean as close and he could against me and act all scared for awhile. He wouldn't even move. I then took him off the bed and set him on the floor. He then began barking and growling at something and he would stretch his little body as far as he could without moving or leaving my side to bark and growl some more. I decided I was just gonna watch TV in the living room after that. lol

I believe dogs can sense spirits and unknown stuff like that. In fact, one of the ghost hunter shows I just started watching on TV was advertising for another episode they were going to show where dogs were acting strange and sensing stuff.

Yorkiekids · 11-11-2009, 01:59 PM

I believe they can see things that we can't. Could you try putting her crate on your bed with a cover of some kind over it. Maybe for some reason she's feeling insecure. Let us know how it works out.

AprilLove · 11-11-2009, 04:19 PM

My personal experience is yes, they can. But it does not have to be bad or scary.

I would love to try it, but I'm sharing bedroom with my 2 sisters, they wouldn't like it..

violet voon · 11-12-2009, 05:55 AM

I brought Sugar to my office today, there's another crate in my office, it's the 1st crate I bought for her few months back when she was 2 months old. I put her in the crate and see if she would come out herself, the same thing...she didn't want to come out from the crate, just stared at my office floor. Hmmm I think something frightened her outside her crate (at home), this made her stay in the crates (no matter where and any crates). I just hope she stays healthy and happy, I hope she would forget the "incident" or whatever freaked her out as soon as possible.
Today I bought her another small crate today (OMG I'm broke! Spent too much on her stuff recently), it's to put in the living room or somewhere near my bedroom at night, I hope this will make her feels okay to sleep at night.
Thank you so much for all the caring messages, I really appreciate it

I will keep posting if there's any changes in her behaviour

Fergies Mommy · 11-12-2009, 09:16 AM

I think they can. My apartment is right next to a graveyard. The graveyard is fenced in and the park I take her to to go potty is right next to it. On some nights she'll stare into the graveyard and get scared and race back to my apartment.

Yashibaby · 11-12-2009, 12:07 PM
