Things your Yorkie loves to hate

[boopster]

Tallulah hates tags on anything, anything with a long handle, and intact pieces of paper of any kind. Yesterday she unwrapped all the packages under the tree at Yorkie Camp so she could tear up the paper.

[Saeka]

Toilet paper rolls. OH MAN! This is why I have to keep the door shut to my bathroom. Rhia loves to sneak in there and DESTROY them. She also likes to bark at anyone who walks by the apartment, but runs to the front door just in case they're visiting us. She loves people.

[dinkyweil]

Dinky will attack the broom. I don't know if he hates it or loves attacking it!

[Sammy Mommy]

Sammy hates the vacuum cleaner. If he's running around when I vacuum he tries to attack it! So I keep him in the kitchen when I vacuum. I'm afraid he will get his little paws caught in the vacuum.

[CouversMom]

What a great idea for a thread!

Couver:

He hates skateboards, bicycles, scooters, runners, fast walkers or children. He will chase after and bark at all of these things.

He also doesn't like dad kissing/hugging/or even touching mom. He gets upset/jealous/protective if his dad gets too close to me.

He also dislikes strangers and men wearing hats/hoods or anything on their heads. He will bark his head off at them.

He will also get jealous if Khloe is being loved on, and will whine so that he can get

Khloe:

She's very laid back, and will just bark whenever Couver does.

Birds! She loves to chase them! She hates it when she sees other dogs running through the bigger yard outside her fenced yard. It makes her so mad!

[snoopymom]

This is fun!

Snoopy loves to hate sqirrels most of all. They seem to know just how far his tie-out reaches, and stay just out of range. But hope springs eternal.

He also loves to hate the broom. He got into the habit of biting and growling at the broom when he would come in from outside. Sometimes he wants to go out, just to come in and attack the broom.

And trash bags! He can hear the trash being emptied from anywhere in the house. And I have to say, no one has been attacked by a trash bag since we got him.

Milli hates socks and shoes. I've been one to wear something on my feet for years. But now that Milli rules the roost, I go barefoot all the time! It's easier than fighting with her! LOL

[Codys Dad]

NO....
Cody is so head strong that "no" only makes him want to do what ever it is even more, from pulling on my socks to pulling my laces....
That crazy pouch!

This thread is amusing, but darn I can't think of many things my 5 doggies hate.

Only thing that comes to mind is that Karlee hates bath time so much, she hides when she sees the shampoo bottle come out.

[Jenna AK]

Oh... bath time. Definitely. Mostly the ear washing portion. Well, and the first part where she has to get wet...and then the shampooing...well and the rinse, and then getting her face clean with the washcloth, and her teeth brushed...and...and...and...

Going potty in the rain ranks up pretty high on her 'list'.

And when she first got here, other dogs. But that's mellowed somewhat.

If she's in my lap already (when is she not?) and a cat comes to investigate in hopes of a vacancy, there's going to be growling, no mistake. Although she doesn't seem to mind them otherwise.

I thinks she hates her own dreams. I can't tell you how many times I'll catch her yipping in her sleep.

Oh, and if there's a male voice on the t.v. or radio she doesn't like. That means it's time to start barking and posturing. I have no idea why, she loves both my husband and my son.

Mostly she loves to hate any time I go away. That is by far the worst. I wish she didn't have such separation anxiety, because I hate to see her upset.

Like many of the posts....Copper loves to hate the vaccum cleaner - hides behind the couch, the coffee bean grinder - hides behind the couch, bath time - hides behind the couch...well you get the picture!

Scoobers=the Pedipaw it makes noise and touches his feet-it's all bad to him.
Princess= well the broom-which has never done anything to her-she has NEVER been teased with it- yet she will drag it out from beside the refrigerator and attempt to kill it, eat it and drag it some more to ensure it's not going to sweep anything...ever again.
Elvis is generally a super social dog with other dogs; however, he has some serious issue with a neighbors giant poodle-as soon as I hear Elvis in the dining window freaking out growling and barking I know the neighbor is going by for her morning walk with her dog and has stopped at the mail box (just out our front yard). He's yet to meet the dog without a pane of glass between them and I'm not sure I would want them too considering his strong reaction-again he is super friendly with other dogs and enjoys playing with the other neighborhood dogs-both small, and extra large.

I forgot! Scoobers my rescue Schnorkie (dumped outside of a pound in the middle of the night with another designer breed a pom-chi I believe-both microchipped to a "breeder") is terrified to this day of blond women who speak Spanish. About a month after I got him I started working on socialization so we started meeting all the neighbors outside and he acted strangely around the children whom spoke Spanish primarily- one of their aunties had blond hair she was the only one he actually hid from and growled at. So we tested it on another neighbor family the grandmother came out first (she has grey hair) he was okay with her, the kids all had dark hair, the sister again brown hair he was mildly leery when the mother came out whom has blond hair and began to speak to him in Spanish he hid behind me and growled at her...I'm guessing he had a really horrid experience with s woman who had blond hair and spoke Spanish...I emailed the adoptions coordinator about the issue not sure what came of it. Since I have socialized him a bit more extensively with people whom speak Spanish-spoke to him in Spanish myself and had my blond friends speak to him to this day he is semi still leery but exhibits a minimal reaction after the "training" which took a bit with this. Just thought I'd also note this and how dramatic it seemed he had such an imprinted specific reaction to something "familiar" or traumatic to him in his past I'd have no idea of verifying other than in his reaction. Amazing how even an animal whom has overcome so much and progressed so far can still carry a bit of imprinted memory of something and someone.
