Does your yorkie run to you when he/she is scared?

That is how Jackson is... like at the vet, oh god, he climbs up my chest as much as he possibly can and tries to curl up in my arms! lol, but most times, he runs away and does not want to be held or comforted. Occasionally he will let me. It just depends on the situation but more often than not, he runs!

Yep! He doesn't get scared or spooked often, but when he does, he runs up to me and stands between my feet.

Unfortunately Gracie knows no fear. She is a year old now and I have never seen her scared of anything. I had a Shih Tzu for 15 years that was afraid of thunder. I always felt to awful when I was away from home when there was a storm because I knew how horrified he would be. So far Gracie is not impressed with the thunder. It has awakened her a few times from sleep but she goes right back to sleep without a problem. She thinks she is super dog and sometimes I wish she would be a bit more concerned for her own welfare. I get worn out trying to protect her from herself.

Mine does unless I'm the one doing the scaring like vacuuming. She will either stand on her back legs with her front paws on me doing the mommy pick me up thing or sit between my legs or follow me extremely close. If Im vacuuming she goes out the doggy door and checks the yard out and chills until I'm done. At the dog park if another dog is getting a little too rough with her (that dosent happened to often) she runs back to me also.

That's how Roxie is also. She runs from me when I try to pick her up. The only time she looks to me for protection is at the vet or the groomer. Then she digs her little claws into me, and won't let me put her down. Other than that, she usually just barks at or runs in the opposite direction from something that frightens her.
