YT 2000 Club Member | ![]() little Yorkies are very lovable and all they want is to be close to us. My two boys are with me, in the bed and on the couch. If you cannot treat your Yorkie with this close attention I would recommend giving her to someone who could. My husband does not like jumping over fences or having blankets on the couch but it is all for the dogs. I am a dog lover and he respects me and my love of Yorkies. |

| ![]() I suggest this setup. I bought it online from walmart or amazon, they both have it. It is great. Easy to move around and I bought the pad that goes in the bottom that is washable and protects carpet or hardwood floors. You could set it up by your bed and let her sleep by your side. As she gets used to the situation start moving it away from the bed. It has room enough for her bed, food bowls and a pee pee pad. My Yorkie sleeps in hers every night and is very happy there. It is so portable I can easily take it wherever we go and she has her home away from home. It is IRIS Plastic Exercise / Containment Pet Pen for Dogs, White |

YT 2000 Club Member | ![]() If you are going to own a yorkie and be happy you must understand how much these dogs love and want to be with us. They live to please us. You must not treat them cruelly by locking them away or not allowing them to be next to you. If your fiance truly loves you your yorkie will be allowed their place where they belong. Next to you. The yorkie is boss but i tell you that yorkie will be faithful never leave your side.and be there through thick and thin. No man is that loyal. Be true to your dog or give it to a dog lover and get a large outside dog. |

Okay, so here is the thing: Dogs are very social animals. If you have a dog, it is very natural for it to want to sleep with you. They are not meant to be alone all the time, and will never be happy with that. There is a great dog training book that I read a long time ago called: the art of raising a puppy. It's written by a group of monks that raise German shepherds. While your dog is not a puppy I think that it would be an excellent book for you to read so that you could understand where dogs are coming from. Mia is not being a bad dog because she does not want to sleep downstairs in the closet by herself. I have owned many dogs in my lifetime and I can promise you that none of my dogs would have been happy with that sleeping arrangement. She also definitely needs more hands on time with people. Either a dog walker or perhaps a daycare but because of her small size it would need to be at day care with small dogs. Being outside by herself really isn't an option because some very terrible things can happen to small dogs when they are by themselves. I'm sure that you love her and that you very much would like to find a situation that will work. In order for that to happen I think that you may need to learn a little bit more about why dogs are the way they are so they'll understand that some of the things you were asking of from Mia are really too much to ask for a dog. They need our love, companionship, and leadership. They will never abandon you and they will always be your best friend even if you are not being a best friend to them. I know that you are trying and I hope that you will really do some research so that you can incorporate Mia into a life with you and your fiancé. I believe that that is what you really want to do, and that is why you are here at Yorkie talk. | |

| ![]() Why couldn't she sleep in her bed next to you instead of a closet? |

| ![]() One does not turn around 4 years of behaviors in a short period of time. Moving into a new place and changing all the rules is very confusing for a little dog who is trying to figure out what has happened. It will take a grape at deal of patience and love. You were not fond of some of her previous habits, I understand, but since they were allowed that have to be deal with gradually and with some give and take. Good luck. Wishing you a life of peace, love, and understanding - oh golly how 60's does that sound!
