Yorkies are so sensitive. If I leave Vickie alone for a minute to ran and get the mail, she will pee on my bed when I come back. :rolleyes: They have minds of their own. |
AAAAWWWWWW...Riley just wanted to keep HIS seat clean...could have been worse...at least he didn't wipe on the steering wheel :D |

I DO believe that our dogs punish or retaliate against us!!! :rolleyes: I know mine do for sure... He either was scred to be alone and pooped out of fear, did it to retaliate and show you not to leave him in the car or just had to go (<<<which I doubt). :rolleyes: |
thanks so much, now that you put it that way, I kinda feel bad. These dogs are just soo smart, you would think theyd know better. lol They are smart there is no doubt about it. When I train dog owners (and dogs) the first thing we look at is human behaviors and expectations. Too many times, the human is wanting the dog to think like we do. Watch Dog Whisper, he is always saying..dogs ARE NOT human they are not wired like we are, thats not to say they are not intelligent. Yes, they do things they shouldn't but my feeling is it is not to get back at us, but is generally because they have issue with being bored, frustrated, are young etc. A toddler might know he/she is not supposed to write on the wall with that big black permanent marker. How many of us have had it happen?!! Does it mean our toddler is dumb or mad at us? NO, they just want to do it. This is what makes our lives with our dogs so darned interesting. Imagine how boring your day would have been if you had not sat on crap right?!!! :) |

I stand by my opinion only because of my training experience of both dogs and horses (I have owned Yorkies my entire life as well as other breeds). I don't dispute the knowledge or skills of a Yorkie. Anyway, we could banter back and forth about training and what a dog thinks/doesn't think..etc..My point basically was when the dog went poo on the seat and the owner returned 5 min. later, that dog did not know what he did 5 min. ago and in my opinion would not understand why he was getting tapped on the butt, or his owner was displaying anger. |

Again, I totally stand by my opinion as far as dogs living in the moment. Talk to any reputable trainer or dog behaviorist and they will tell you that a dog will not remember what it did 5min ago. Thats why they say if you come home to a house that has been torn apart don't start yelling at the dog as he will have no understanding of what he/she did wrong. You will continue to believe that your dog held a grudge because you left him and its a comforting thought, I just don't buy into it thats all. Again, just my opinion which isn't based on anything other then 17+years training dogs and horses. I've been raised with Yorkies as well as Great Danes, trained and worked with many breeds. I never ever question the intelligence of dogs (or animals in general) and I have great respect for them. I just find that I am able to work with my clients dogs if I go with the feelings that they are a dog and not human in the sense that we reason. Please do not mistake my words, my dogs are like my human family and in my heart, I just go about the training methods with a different thought pattern. JMO |

I understand about you slapping his little butt. I have done it once to Holly too. Very light of course, but I think that the tone you use or the words you say are more effective than the touch. I'm sure your baby knows you love him, but there are rules and just cause he's a puppy doesn't mean he shouldn't follow them. |
I've never had a car accident, but I have had inside accidents all the time. I would let Jerzee or Maizee out and no less than 2 minutes after they walked back through the door, they were hard at work trying to pinch one off in the corner. I think it has something to do with me not paying attention to them as much as they would like, because of course I have to watch the cat so he doesn't run outside while trying to wrangle with two yorkies to get them back in. Revenge of the little yorkie puppies. . :) |
LOL sorry for laughing....I've never left mine in the car for anything but I bet if I did they may just leave me a little sign too...He may have been scared and pooped out of fear.....When Chanel or Cheri get really excited about going for rides or something - the first thing they do is run out a poop in glee lol - it's like the adrenelan rush causes this to happen.... Please be careful with the car....there's so many people stealing yorkies these days you don't want to take a chance.... |
