When my yorkie was a puppy he was the same barked and went mad when I left the room or went out.
So whenever I could I would pretend to leave, by opening and shutting door in kitchen and front door just going in and out and then getting a little longer over a period of time, and giving a treat on coming back in. It took a few weeks but it cured him.
He is nine now I can tell he doesn't really like being left, however he doesn't bark or yelp, it just takes time and patience I really hope he can be calmed. It's a shame he probably is fearful as thinking no one will want him again......I am very sentimental sorry. Good luck

Hi, re Killer, we have NOT left him alone at all, it is when my wife goes out, indoors or at home with us he is a great little dog. I have had him at home when my wife goes out for 2 hours, he is highly stressed and barks continuesly, I cuddle him talk to him, have music on, or try not to take notice of him, he sits on my lap and sleeps while we are both here, but the main problem is our original ( rescue dog) is so placid. It is starting to affect him.Tony.

Hi Tony,

Sorry, I understand how you must feel.

What a shame - He sounds like he has become attached to your wife and you are both enjoying having him - We just don't know what goes on in their minds, poor little thing - I can imagine it can't do him, you or your other dog any good if he is so distressed, when your wife goes out. It must be quite upsetting!

Jan.

Seems the boy is very insecure/spoiled he clings to women more as they probably dote on him more.
He needs time, work and commitment.
I hope someone can give him that. A few weeks is just not enough for him to adapt and to learn
I will have to collect him and probably have to take him back to a rescue.
If there is anyone at all that can help him that would be wonderful.
Thank you for all of your ideas and advise, it is great when people can share. :text-thankyouyellow:
Saludos

Excuse me Peartree but that doesn't look like the first Yorkshire terrier you put on the sight , named killer , it appeared to be much smaller I do hope this is not a scam, just concerned. If I'm wrong I do not wish to offend.

Escuse ME Christine... that IS very much the same dog, Killer.

Tony and Margaret have him and have decided to keep him.
He is officially Adopted.

Killer is staying where he is! Tony and Margaret have decided to tuck in and help this beautiful sweet boy. It will take some work but they are more clever then he is :lol: so they are always 2 steps ahead. Well done to you both for taking Killer under your wing and giving him the love and commitment he needs. You are two very kind people :romance-heart

Great news! So pleased to hear that Killer has a forever home.
