[quote=matese;4665118]Thanks for the input. I will probably try the booster seat. Also, my condolences to your passed girl at 17 lbs. I don't know how you or anyone else gets through a passing of our "dogs of joy" for want of better words. Hopefully mine has 15-20 years before he decides to go (which will probably be when I too will decide to go lol). I make each day the best I can with my Yorkie as my life now revolves around my yorkie (I bet that non believers and the shrinks out there would have a field day with us Yorkie owners lol)

Per SWowner "Amazing how smart these Yorkie's are! Charlie is holding at 3lb 6oz and when we do have to take him to the Doctor's Office, etc. - we put him in a American Kennel Club Pet Booster Seat. We use to carry him in a Sherpa Metropolitan Tote Bag (on the wife's lap) but when he gets to screaming the wife can't handle him and the case. The American Kennel Club Pet Booster Seat is right behind us next to the window. I have even tried lowering the window, etc. Heck, last week we tried "holding" but when he gets into that screaming mode - the wife can't hold him - nothing seems to work.
when we are getting ready to go - he always runs over to his Sherpa Metropolitan Tote Bag and jumps in ready to go with us - sure wish we could sit down and talk to him about his screaming - but, he just looks at ya and jumps back out when he realizes we aren't taking him. Every few weeks we try taking him again but it always ends up with his screaming..."

I am amazed at how intelligent my Yorkie is as are you with yours. In fact, he has more intelligence than a lot of people i know. lol. My Yorkie also has that sixth sense and knows when I am not feeling right as he jumps up onto my lap then inundates my face with his kisses. I can give you many examples that just boggle my mind as of course you too have found about your Yorkie.
Good luck on your "noisy" Yorkie. Maybe he will settle down in due time? It would, however, be nice to know just why he lets loose with all that barking in the car. Did you try hypnotizing him yet? lol

Attachment 410393Roger on their sixth sense. The wife has been having a heck of a time lately with Rheumatoid Arthritis and other stuff. When it really kicks in - she just gets very sick from all the medication - Charlie ALWAYS can tell and sticks to her like glue! Charlie always lays on his bed (on our couch) when he isn't playing, eating or going to the... However, when the wife isn't feeling good - he will climb onto her lap or lay against her - it is so cool to watch - he is taking care of her. If she goes to bed - he will follow her and lay next to her. When the wife feels better - Charlie goes right back to he bed on the couch. Unreal!

Now hypnotizing him - that sounds like a super option!:)

One word
 

Waterbottle
One spray at them breaks that cycle .....only took a few times ....now all I say is "water bottle!" And they zip it if they start.....and yes I do have a small one near me where they can see it.....

Attachment 410396First time I tried the "spray bottle" ole Charlie looked in total amazement and stopped screaming! Yes - he stopped screaming for about 3 seconds. He then started screaming even louder as if he was pissed that I sprayed him! Tried it again and Charlie just laughed at us and started screaming louder (as if to teach us a lesson).:)

I just finished reading your entire thread and I feel like your Charlie and my Finnigan could be brothers! Its amazing the behaviors these two share!

Finnigan has had the exact same progression of behaviors in the car as your Charlie! He also has a "baby" a stuffed bone and just "has" to be chased around the house.

Attachment 410401My neighbor has a Yorkie and he was shocked when I told him their are a bunch of "Charlies" running around! His Yorkie is just as quiet as can be and loves the car. The wife is down south babysitting so ole Charlie won't leave me alone. He normally hangs with the wife - almost stepped on him a few times already and almost had a heart attack chasing him every 20 minutes or so. Dang I love him! Just took this picture of him for the wife...

Umm, I don't know...I may have mentioned this once in passing...BUT I SO TOTALLY LOVE THAT LITTLE WILD MAN OF YOURS!!! I would even go so far as to say he is in the universe of cuteness--where, of course, my little Piper-girl reigns supreme!

Attachment 410409I have a few programs that can add frames to pictures. That was the biggest picture I could find of Piper.

Charlie looks to sweet and adorable to be a screaming wild child.
