What are your yorkies biggest fears? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Jack's fearless, but Eddie is terrified of loud or sudden noises. Fireworks and thunder are the worst.

And clickers. He hates the sound of a clicker. Even a muffled one or a pen click.

I found out Starsky doesn't like to hear loud music, like in a park. And he get's lonely real quick without Haggis or Shylah.

Shylah, seems like she is scared of heights. She doesn't like to be suspended in the air without something supporting her feet. So I have to use both hands to put her down. She is a lot more timid then Starsky too.

I bought one of those big balls for a dollar that you can get at Wal-Mart...you know the kind in the big bins? Well someone suggested that this ball kept their Boston Terrier busy for hours by him pushing it around. Luckily it was only a dollar because Buckeye desn't care a thing about it. It's now sitting in the corner of the room where they play and Tank is terrified of it. Anytime we throw a toy over that way he growls a little at the big ball and leans in ever so cautiously to pick up the toy. If the toy gets behind the ball he lays staring at the ball barking and growling and then comes over to us whining. What a baby huh?

Oh and the coins in the can thing...that just made Tank bark louder.

Demi doesn't like sudden noises and anything that might potentially fall down and land on her head.

Rebecca, about your dog who's afraid in the car -- I don't think he's afraid. I think it's just 'positive' stress. The dog gets so excited that he exhibits stress signals. Do a search on 'canine eustress' and you'll find a little more info.

Demi experiences what I think is positive stress in doggie class. She loves to go there, but when we're there she scratches obsessively and last week she actually got a rash in class that went away within minutes of leaving. I think she just gets so keyed up that physical symptoms pop up.

Unusual noises in the night.

Reggie is terrfied of balloons and exercise balls! No idea why he was never teased with one but he is terrified, he sees one and hides till it goes...lol

Kenzie is pretty fearless.

Gingergirlsmom · 09-08-2006, 01:02 PM

I have to operate on anything that squeaks...because once it does, watch out...she will obsess over protecting us all from the mad squeaking toy!!!!

meemer1 · 09-08-2006, 01:04 PM

thunder and lightning...he cry's and wants to go down stairs to sleep...plus when he hears a garbage trunk he hates them,he will not bark just shakes and whins....

Rocky is terrified of strollers, carriges, bikes when ever i walk him around the neighborhood and any of these pass us he squats down and will not walk until the stroller or carrige has passed us bye ha ha it's so funny

stedmansmommy · 09-08-2006, 01:52 PM

Stedman pretty much has no fear (which kind of scares me lol) except for the fact that he is TERRIFIED of the box fan that we sometimes use out in the garage. It blows loud and he will not go near it. He will walk completely around the thing if he has to...anything to avoid it! It's so cute lol

JESSY_RN2B · 09-08-2006, 02:14 PM

I don't own a yorkie yet, but my poodle's biggest fear in the vacuum cleaner! She is terrified of it.

lexielouisemom · 09-08-2006, 02:42 PM

The only thing my little Lexie is afraid of is the vacuum cleaner.

YORKIE7 · 09-08-2006, 02:56 PM

My babies are all so scared of this vase i have on the table with one of those straw plants! when they are naughty my partner chases them with it! they soon behave then

lol

Bama Yorkie Mom · 09-08-2006, 04:47 PM

Kizzy isnt scared of much but vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops, not sure she is that scared or wants to play, she runs up to them barking her head off. now on the other hand, Maggie is scared of so many things. she is scared if I set her up on anything just for a minute like a chair or well anything else. she is scared of strange noises, loud noises, and she use to run from squeaky toys, shes use to those now finally. She is scared of people in strange places, like at the vet, she wont even get out of her carrier, I have to drag her out almost. so I have one brave heart and one chicken s**t. lol

ladyt · 09-08-2006, 04:52 PM

I can honestly say that I have not noticed anything that Kiki is scared of yet. He thinks he is a Rottweiler.
