| Demanding or laid back? How is your dog? Sheldon can be quite demanding when he wants something. He will just sit in front of me and bark when he wants to play, or when he wants something he can't reach. It's almost as of he's telling me I'm slacking. Lol. |

Lexi is pretty laid back, luckily. She always wants to be where I am, but if I'm busy she will usually just play with her toys by herself or sleep. The only time she barks is when a toy gets somewhere she can't get to. Then she barks to tell me, "please get it for me mommy." lol | |

| Cody is VERY demanding, I give in to him all the time, because, I adopted him. He was taking away from a little 11 y/o girl, that devoted all her time to loving and spoiling him, he was 2 1/2 y/o just a baby when he was taken away from the little girl, he just turned 3 y/o. How can I replace a little 11 y/o child that showered love and attention to him every minute she was home with him. Now he is living in home with no children, and a lady that has many things to be taken care of, so he doesn't get all that attention he use to get. I have to keep his stress level down, so when he DEMANDS I jump. I know he misses his little master very much, I can't deny him. I know he loves me and I do all I can to make him as happy as I can. He came to me as a very spoiled child which I love,I do get firm with him when I feel it is absolutely necessary, but 85% of the time I do give in to his demands. I have had many yorkies so I know I can create a lil monster lol, he does know that although he gets his own way much of the time, I AM the pack leader lol. I love this lil guy he is my first boy and want his new home & life style to be as happy and stress free as possible.

| Mickey is a little of both He is laid back and loving and sweet, loves to snuggle into my neck and be held and brushed. Then comes out the little brat in him and he yelps when he wants something. He even throws himself if I ignore him. He yelps to get in the house. He yelps when I am fixing his food. (I guess I am not fast enough for him.) He barks at everything that moves outside, even if it is a block away! Just the sweetest spoiled baby I ever saw.

| A mix. She can definitely entertain herself with her toys and chew things, but when she wants attention she is very demanding. I was couponing yesterday and she wanted me to pay attention to her instead and would NOT stop jumping into my lap, so after about the 25th time I had to crate her so I could finish! |

| Joel Is kinda both, it depends on what he wants though. Mostly layed back because once I say 'no' he knows it's no and he'll forget about it. The most demanding he is is when he's separated and trying to get to me lol Last edited by ilovejoel; 08-16-2014 at 10:03 AM. |

| mine is somewhat of a diva. She can entertain herself to some extent and then mostly wants someone to play with her. When she wants something, she's pretty demanding. but otherwise is fairly laid back :3 within the past few weeks she's learned the art of begging X.x;;

| My Hugo is very demanding. He does the same thing, he sits in front of me (or on me) and barks or whines at me until I play with him. Or he'll sit in front of a toy and whine until I pick it up. He's the same if he wants to get in a room that's closed or on the sofa (he wants to be lifted onto it even though he can get up perfectly well when I'm not there). It's cute but I think it's because I give in too easily and do whatever he demands. I just can't resist his little cute face |

| Bella is a mix. She's very loving, but can be a real "puppy brat". That's my grand daughter's term for her.

| Tibbe is very demanding but makes it worth your while by managing to be so dang cute when he demands things!

| Cookie is pretty demanding. What the yorkie wants, she usually gets (other than human food, which she never gets).
