Yorkshire Terriers are no exception when it comes to neurotic behaviour and this sort of behaviour seems to be more prevalent in small dogs than larger breeds.

Should your Yorkie exhibits neurotic behaviour such as spinning around or biting themselves it is important to look into what has exactly triggered this behaviour.

Think back to when this behaviour begun and ask members of the family if they noticed anything happen to the dog to make this happen. It maybe that there have been changes in the house that triggered him off or a change in who looks after him or spends the most time with him. Even a visit to the vets where he has been handled in a different way could cause this. Any change in the dogs normal routine can bring about neurotic behaviour so it is very important find out why he is doing this.

This change in behaviour may be easily dealt with at home, rather than by seeking outside help which may be costly.

Most importantly your Yorkie should feel safe and secure at all times and you might want to limit the amount of people that are around your dog in the daytime and shower him with additional love to make him feel more secure.

It can also be an idea to keep him away from other dogs for a short time so he has more ‘one on one’ attention. Should you have recently introduced another dog into the home then this maybe the cause for his change in behaviour. Bear in mind dogs are extremely territorial and Yorkshire Terriers are certainly not excluded and another dog may well threaten their position in the house.

Spending the maximum amount of time as you can with your Yorkie, showering him with lots of love and attention will see your dog back to his normal self within weeks.
