If anyone here at YT wants to make fun of people - they can find another forum at which to do it.

No matter what anyone thinks of this member - it DOES NOT give some free pass on calling them names or making a public joke of them. If anyone isn't able to control how they behave toward others in situations such as this - then you need to either stay off threads like this, or not participate in YT at all.

I read this thread on my phone and felt so sad for this OP! I am so grateful that this forum has a moderator such as yourself.

To the OP, I agree with the others who have said it might take time if your dog came from a not so great environment, and also a vet check might help rule out all things medical that might cause this.

Good luck

I apologize Wylie's Mom. I didn't comment on his other posts because I just couldn't find words to say and I should of refrained from even the emoticon I put up. To the OP I sincerely hope you have learned that these little ones need to be kept inside and cared for almost like children. Hoping you enjoy this little one more and give it the love it deserves. God bless.

Unlike the above posters, I'm baffled.

Is it that members posts & emoticons are removed by Mods, without showing in some way that there was a removal?

Because on the few threads where I've seen Mod responses such as this, I read through the thread & don't see an example of the behaviour described.

I had been following the thread since it was started, the emoticons were removed, as were some of the posts.

I was interested in this post as obviously there are a few owners in the same situation....a stinky poo doggy

although very adorable ..ha ha thanks for the shampoo mention we'll be looking into this ..

Its not necessarily that this poster has a stinky dog its that he left his last yorkie outside all the time. Might I suggest you go look at his post history and you might under stand better.

ella77 · 07-23-2012, 07:42 PM

Mine gets stinky too cuz she likes the grass and anything dirty outside. I have to get her groomed every 2 weeks and bathe her once myself in between visits cuz sometimes shes a stinker lol. If you dont have alot of money for the more expensive stuff theres a cologne spray that works pretty good after a bath that you can get at walmart. I have the green one. Its tropical lol. You should take her to the vet though first to make sure it isnt mange or some other skin disorder. Good luck

Some dogs do just have an odor one can't mask well even with bathing, perfuming. Just accept love and it and with time, your own nose will actually adjust to the constant odor. Play with and start a good positive reinforcement training program for too quiet dogs to reinforce your leadership skills, bond with your new dog and give it a sense of achievement. All those can really charge up a dog who is hiding its worries in solitude and withdrawing from life by constant napping. And a lot of dogs won't bark until they accept their current surroundings as their home. Dogs often just reflect who you are in some way.

It could also be due to an ear infection? That can reek.

When Kaji first came home, he was a stinky sucker and had just gotten his long hair chopped off. He was on a 5 hour flight, do I understand the pee smell. Anyway, I think I shampooed him twice or three times as soon as i got hone trying to get the smell out. It wasn't until a few weeks later, with regular baths that the smell went away. If the smell is bothersome, I'd check with the vet as it could be a skin infection or any number of medical conditions. It's always best to take any new pet to the vet just do you know right off the bat if there any any medical concerns you should be aware of.

As far as the barking goes, I have a non barker. I swear he just doesn't feel like it. He'll whine, whimper, scream bloody murder, but he won't bark. Actually I should say he rarely does. I guess if you have a non-barker too, just be grateful.

Pretty simple to me. Yorkies can handle baths every week. I've never had a problem with my prior Yorkie bathing him 2x a week. Some take to bathes different. But as long as the skin isn't getting dry your good. Gentle shampoo and good rinsing. When you think your done rising. Rinse for another minute.

Just wanted to say that my brother has a stinky dog but he doesnt smell it.

LunasMomma · 07-24-2012, 12:10 PM

I'm sure that with some time and several good baths, the stinky will go away. What is your baby's name? What a cutie!

Mine only get a bath every two weeks, at the groomer. Unless they get into something awful in the yard, that is

Their skin tends to get a little dry if I bathe them too often.

Good luck, let us know how it's going with your new doggy!

AF pups · 07-24-2012, 08:46 PM

One of my friend does a very very very mild vinegar and water mixture when she bathes her other dogs. She said it is like 1 part vinegar to 2-3 parts water. If the smell is from the skin or coat the vinegar can help neutralize the odor. Make sure the dog DOES NOT drink this and that you wash them with regular dog shampoo before this. After the vinegar mixture make sure to thoroughly rinse the coat after.
