Help!! hey everyone im new to YT, i have a 8 month old yorkie named Dior. i've had him almost 4 months now and when i got him i was told not to walk him outside yet because of the weather and his size but now every time i take him outside he just stays in one spot and shivers, i dont know what to do :confused: |

Sounds like a socialization issue. The best thing to do is keep taking him outside; maybe give him treats, or play with his a special toy with him. He has to begin to associate outside with fun and good things; right now he's afraid of the unknown. Good luck!! :) |
My Kalani absolutely hated being outdoors and would shiver and shake the whole time:( I put Hokule'a on her leash and would carry Kalani in a sling carrier or in my arms and after about a week of that he decided he'd try walking a few steps here and there. He still will freak out at loud noises and stop dead in his tracks but Hoku and I just stop also and wait for him to get over it:) |
Don't worry, he will eventually get used to being outdoors and will learn to love it. Jake was the same way, and now he LOVES going outside. You might try putting a shirt or sweater on him, he might be a little cold. Also, try just holding him while you walk around outside and just talk to him and reassure him. When I first started taking Jake out, I started out by taking him out for only short periods of time. I gradually increased the time everyday, and I took some of his toys and balls outside for him to play with. It didn't take much time at all before he was out there running around and playing and having a good ole time! Now, when I say "go outside?" to Jake, he's all over it! Just give your baby time. I'm sure it's pretty scary at first, everything must look so huge to them! |
Try and stay ontop of it and keep taking him out. It is probably because he is just not use to this. All the noise and sents. I am sure that Dior will come around.:thumbup: |
Most pups will shiver when they first go outside as they are not used to the surroundings. Even though he is a little older, give him some time and talk gently to him. He should come around soon. Good luck. |
