Does your yorkie "cower"? Layla has only EVER been touched in a loving way... all her life.. YET.. when people, myself included, go to pet her, she cowers and if you didn't know us, you would assume she is abused. Is Layla the only one? |
That is what many would think when you first think see a dog do this, but I know of dogs that were just like Layla. I think for some it is just in their nature. |
Morgan cowers sometimes when i call her over to me and she knows i'm going to pick her up. Most of the time its cause i want to bring her back downstairs to "our" room or to put her in her pen. She loves being out and being upstairs with my parents so that's probably why she cowers. she doesn't want to go. |
Brownie ...........never !! lol |
Tucker does this too! You would think someone beat this dog the way he backs away and cowers. We don't know what he's thinking! |
Kaba does this a lot. Never with me but with her daddy when he comes home from work and most everyone else. She has a very submissive personality. Always have. Will never be the alpha dog in any situation. I think its probably from living in a pet store for a few weeks after being taken from her mom. Also, just her personality. She also does the pee thing too when she cowers. We are trying to work on that when daddy comes home from work. I've read that its a submissive thing so for him to not talk sweet to her and pet her but to immediately give her commands such as sit and lay down. We will see if it works. |
zoey does this all the time and it frustrates me because I know that we never raised a hand to her. It drives me bonkers. Oh well what can we do. |
well, ,not really COWER,, but Cricket will back down a bit at times,, her's is just making sure some BIG person isnt going to step on her,, etc.. Trixie the same way,, but they are both on the small side,, 4 lbs,, but Daisy will do this behavior when i fuss at her for grabbing something or something like that,,, and head toward her,, shes never been mistreated,,but knows when she's done something she shouldn't have,, but none cower in fear,, Daisy is more like OPPS,, I forgot,, forgive me?? gives ya those big ole puppy dog eyes,,,,:teethysmi |
I've only had a couple of fosters that did that. Mine have never. I wonder why she is doing that? |
Yes Kodi does this. The only think I can think of is it is submisive thing... He has never Ever been hit but he will cower. It is Sad:( |

Lacy and Rylie both do somewhat. I think it's probably because we look so big and tall to them hovering right over. |

Same with Rosie. She seems like she was abused, but she's only been loved and spoiled. She gets real low to the ground and crawls to ppl so they can pet her. |
