Wierd Yorkie behavior I have been watching a friend's Yorkie for about a week. I feed, brush and walk this little girl and she hides from me and won't hardly let me touch her. When my husband comes home she is a different dog. She jumps on him, let's him hold her and just loves him. What the heck!!! He hardly pays attention to her, almost ignores her, but she can't get enough of him. Do some dogs sense the difference between a man and a woman? I have been around this dog for about 2 years and she has always been this way towards me. Her owner says she acts the same way...prefers her boyfriend to her. |
Weird behaviour I think it could be true about dogs liking a man over a woman or vice versa. I had a dog one time that liked me but when my husband was around he was much happier to see him. In fact he liked any man he saw. I was at a friend's house one time with him and the husband came home and sat down and my dog jumped up on his lap. I had adopted him so maybe his original owner was a man he was much attached to I can't say. That sure does not make a person feel good I must admit though. If you love your dog and feed him and love on him and do all sorts of things with him it is only reasonable that you would think he would be super close to you. Go figure. lol |
My friend is the third owner this little girl has had and the vet thinks she is a little over 3 years old now. An elderly lady had her and feed her bagels, deli meat and cookies for a year. When the elderly lady would fall and go to the hospital, the little dog would be left by herself until the lady got out of the hospital. She was feed by the lady's family, but the dog used the living room as her potty area. She was a mess. My friend has turned her life around and she is 100% better but still has strange behaviors. She is petrified of a broom, she will let you pet her one minute and the next snarls at you trying to bite your hand and she hides under the bed and growls. I know she will probably never be a normal dog but at least she will have a chance to become a normal dog now. I don't know what it is about my husband that has this dog so thrilled to see him but once I pointed out how this dog acts around him, he is now starting to give her more attention and she is eating it up. |
Awww, poor little girl. Sometimes you can't help but wonder what their lives must of been like when they have these kind of issues. Glad she is being taken care of and loved. Maybe in time she will learn to trust, sounds like she is crazy about your hubby ;) |
My dad was a dairy farmer; he was loving and funny and pragmatic. For whatever mysterious reason, dogs took to him immediately and without reservation. My German Shepherds were devoted to me and didn't have much time for anyone else...except my dad! They would leave me to be close to him--a first and only (I kinda loved it). Who knows why we click with one another, as long as we do, yes?! Piper adores and is comfortable with my male friend and will get close to him, but otherwise, she is always wary and hesitant of guys in general. |
