YorkieTalk Newbie! | Hi Everyone Hi there everybody! I'm so glad I found this great website! I just rescued a 4 year old yorkie this week her name is Gabby. Her previous owner passed away and was living with family of her previous owner until they found her a new home (me!). I am still trying to let her adjust to her own home. They had told me she hardly went outside, never walked on a leash, played with toys, or learned any commands. I am being very patient and working with her every day and am hoping she will start to come around. I took her into the metroparks and today again and she walked all over the fields on the grass (her own route) but it was a great improvement from yesterday she would't walk one step! I have a light weight leash on her around my condo because I read that will help them get used to them when walking around on their own. I have never had a dog before so this is learning process! |

| Congratulations!! And what a cutie she is. It sounds like you are off to a great start on being a good puppy parent. This is a really wonderful site, loaded with good people giving good solid advice or suggestions. I've learned so many things! Just read and ask questions. I think Yorkies are amazing...they are fun and have little quirks that are adorable. Patience is key, as with almost everything in life. Good luck and have fun. |
