| Welcome to YT, you have this little boy just one week, some rescues / adopted babies need more then one week to adjust to new surroundings, new smells, new schedules and most importantly new ppl. You say he is ok with your wife, but not you, you said prev. owner was a lady. Maybe he is not use to men, not use to deeper voice. Remember he was taken from the only person he knew, now he comes to you, a stranger, speak in low tones to him, try hand feeding him to build trust in you and to bond with you, play roll the ball with him, take him for walks, try training him to sit, stay, come etc. this all builds a bond and trust in you. Never raise your voice to him, yell or holler this will only cause him fear of you.... As for doing his business out doors, feeding times MUST be the same time every day, take him out side 20 or 30 minutes after he eats, if he makes in the house before the time you take him out, take him out anyway. He needs to know at a certain time he goes out. Dogs have a built in time clock, they are creatures of habit.They NEED a schedule. Feed and take out to potty the same times every day, consistency is the key word in potty training....no doggie door, he will adjust to that. I have an adopted boy, he was 2.5 y/o when I got him, he is now 4 y/o. He had to learn his new name, learn what pee-pee was and what poo-poo was, every time he peed I would do the happy dance, clap my hands, give him a treat and say good boy pee-pee, the same thing when he would poop, repeat the same words for each action, what ever the words are that you choose it must be the same words. He may have a fear of going out side, your yard is all new to him, put his harness and leash on him and go out with him, when you are with him YOU are his protector. Patience and consistency on your part and your wife's part is major for potty training. By the way, there is no such thing as a "teacup" yorkie, if your boy is small he is just under standard size. All yorkies standard size is 5 to 7 lbs, because he is under this weight does not make him a "teacup" it makes him a smaller yorkie.

Senior Yorkie Talker | New Yorkie Congratulations on your new little boy Yorkie. I got my Chloe when she was 2 years old, from an elderly couple, cause they couldn't care for her anymore. She took to me right away, but it took a bit for her to get used to my husband, she loves him now, but she does not particularly like other men. I think maybe the voice is deep, try to talk to him softly, and like you might talk to a baby. Just give him lots of attention. I was so worried about Chloe because she also would not really eat unless hand fed, but also after a bit of time this also changed, she likes to eat her dinner when we eat, and her bowl is beside me. It does take a little bit of time for them to adjust, but they will. I would take Chloe outside to do her business and she would just look at me like what is this? and then she would come back inside and pee. I just spent more time outsided with her, after she did her business, I would pick her up and praise and pet her, telling her what a good girl she is. I think she did not realize this was her backyard now, but this also turned around, and now she has claimed her backyard and knows her smell is on the grass, now no problem. I looked after my brother inlaws dog for 3 weeks, this dog would not go pee outside, so I left 2 pee pads in the house, the dog went on them, then I put them in the backyard, and she finally peed outside. I'm sure he will get settled in and you will have a long and happy life together. |

| lol, does a bear poop in the woods? yes they do, mine barks if a fly flies over Alaska. You may not see or hear what can cause the barking, but they hear everything. I myself do not discourage barking but he is not an excessive barker, I live alone, just me and the fur kid in a heavily wooded area, he can hear what I cannot not, I am always alerted by his barking and let him lead me to where his concern is, usually it's nothing I can see, but I will not discourage him. Everyone handles their barking yorkies in diff. ways. I am sure you will get advise on excessive barking. Just keep in mind this pup is still adjusting to new surroundings, new sounds. Training not to bark at this time has to be in a gentle manner.
