All of a sudden Charlie going nuts in car!

[MarkFromSea]

LOL I've had nearly the identical conversation with our yorkie at home when he barks directly at me for no apparent reason. LOL He's cute! Looks like he means business, but cute!(handsome)

Those multiple stops sound like a great idea!

I sat out in a fireworks stand this year and barked my head off trying to teach Mario to speak. He rarely barked back then. It took about 4-5 days of off and on working on it; but hey, it worked. Now he speaks on command and we are trying to incorporate that into asking to go outside.

I just hoped no one saw/heard me, but I got done what I was trying to do so what the heck . Even strangers enjoy and can use some laughs now and then LOL.

PS - you will notice he is barking and showing his two rows of teeth - vet said he would remove them (baby teeth) when he turned a year
Well, if he isn't just thee cutest little 'commandant' everrr! For some reason, his picture reminds me of the very young Opie Taylor from the Andy Griffith Show---cutest little tv kid, for sure!

It's so easy to spoil them until we realize we have created a monster lol, but a cute little monster.
BTW I do like Mark's garage wine and cheese idea lol."


Barney does this. If you didn't know better, you would think he hates the car. But he gets so wound up that he can't contain himself. Trips to the beach are a nightmare. 10+ hours of him looking at the window and yelling for us to see all of the great things he sees.

It's funny because he's the first one to jump up in that car seat. He sits so pretty, as if he will be the best behaved little man. But as soon as the car starts moving, he's yelling, "Look at that bird! Look at that house! Look at the park! Stop! Stop! You just missed the park!!!!!" The other two just lay there rolling their eyes at him.

This is hysterical lol

At first he stopped and looked at me. When he started up again - I started up again. Well, something changed at that moment - he acted like he was really getting pissed with me and seemed to go nuts! I finally decided that a 70 year old man barking at a dog in the middle of a parking lot was not good! I just turned up the radio and about 10 minutes later he stopped - just sat there looking at me like he was planning on how he was going to teach me a lesson. He would occasional bark and whine but not as bad.

The wife came out and we to another store. The moment we parked - he went into his non-stop scream mode. I just ignored it and in about 3 minutes - it stopped and sat there and looked confused. I finally felt like I was elevated to the alpha dog - I could see the tide changing.

The wife got back and he barked and whined a little and off to the next store. Same thing - non-stop scream mode for a few minutes and then defeat.

Next stop – get some coffee and head home. Same thing – pulled into the parking lot and he went into his non-stop scream mode for a few minutes.

I can see some light at the end of the tunnel but have this feeling he is just setting me up!

Will let you know what happens tomorrow.
Cody will out of no where come when I am and just barking and whining after 10 minutes of his non stop carrying on I give it back to him, bark and whine, he goes nuts that I'm making fun at him, but, I am NOT in a parking lot, too funny.

Awww he's just toooo cute daddy, precious little boy.

This honestly cracked me up!! Your sense of humor is awesome! I would have loved to have been sitting in that parking lot...oh what we won't do for our babies!

Well, today ole Charlie screamed like crazy when we pulled into the Home Goods store parking lot. This time we just sat until Charlie got tired of screaming and settled down. Put him into his carrying case and off we went - no problem. He just sticks his head out and waits for people to pet him - ah what a life! Hopefully, after a while he will realize that we will just sit tight until he runs out of juice before going into a store. I must admit - his screaming only lasted a few minutes this time.

FWIW - we have him trained to use the paper pads when in the house. When he goes - we give him a small treat (cut a treat into a bunch of pieces and only give him one piece). We noticed that he is using it more and more but it isn't showing up. Let me explain - when he goes he comes out in front of us and does that "cleaning my feet" routine - it is kind of funny sometimes - he actually kicks the rug out from under him. Anyway - we don't immediately change the pad until he goes a few times on it and sometimes his goes on the same exact spot (or so we thought!!!!). I decided to place a mirror across the room so we could see him when he pees. Yea, it has come to that - this dang dog is having fun with us! That little turkey would stick his head over the paper - turn around and see if we could see him - and run out like he pee'd rubbing his feet off on the carpet! He wasn't even on the pad and knew exactly what he was doing. Dang this is one smart dog playing us like a piano so he can get his treat. He is wearing us out - always coming up with something new!

[matese]

lol, Charlie is a smart lil guy, that's why ya just gotta love these little yorkies, they are always up to something, someway to get over on us toooo cute and funny. It's soooo hard to be firm with them they are just toooo cute lol.

[Jkpal]

Your Charlie is a brilliant little boy, truly! I'm thinking he and Piper could form a little duo, as she plays me like a violin!

[MarkFromSea]

That's hilarious! He's faking a potty break near the pad to get a treat! LMAO

The amazing thing is he goes through the entire rubbing his feet! This morning he woke up the wife (walks on her head) and ran off the bed. I got up to see what that was all about he he was standing by the pads - he went to the bathroom and wanted his treat. We have created a monster!!!

[MarkFromSea]

Uh oh! Our pom pup has been waking us up way too early, I should say, he's waking up my better half since I sleep pretty soundly when I finally fall asleep. She is getting the brunt of the loss of sleep. She's even threatened to give him away, I hope jokingly... LOL But, one can never tell when she's so pissed! LMAO We have to try a few things, see if we can get the situation under control.. before banning him from our bed.

[SWOwner]

Charlie normally climbs under the covers when we go to bed. We have to be very careful - don't want to crush him. This morning was the first time he woke up the wife to get his treat - we are hoping it will be the last time. This is our first Yorkie - never had these "problems" with our other pets. Our last pet was a Bichon Frise named Mandy - a little lady - never a problem. I guess we are paying for the easy ride we had with Mandy.

[MarkFromSea]

Sounds like he's probing the perimeter, testing for weaknesses, sowing his oats all at the same time. He'll settle down, find a routine... you may even miss some of this puppy in him. LOL "SURE!" LOL

Take lots of photos in the early months, we haven't taken nearly enough. I watched a vid the other day of our pom when we first got him, he's changed so much. His hair makes him look easily twice his weight and now bigger than the yorkie colored mix we have, can't really see his tail anymore, just hair... the early vid, I could actually see his tail. At any rate, he changed quite a bit and I didn't quite realize how much until I recently watched a vid from earlier this year. I should have taken more.

Your first yorkie lol, get use to it, you'll find yourself going the strangest things for the love of your yorkie lol. Cody is my 5th, I wouldn't have another breed, had poodles, mini Schnauzers but yorkies are the most entertaining and mischievous breed, enjoy the ride lol.
