My yorkie is having some anxiety issues I think

Hi I'm new here and I don't know if someone posted about this before. First a little background on my little girl LV she is about 3.8 lbs sweetest little dog a big cuddle bug!! when we first got her the night we got her she was very sick to the point she was rushed to the emergency room. The vets said if we were an hour late she would have had a seizure and died so after that point I just became paranoid whenever she was feeling well. For awhile she went to the vets regularly just to make sure everything was fine.

Now that she is almost 2 I notice she is very nervous about things she wasn't before. She never barks she grunts when something is going on outside to let us know but that's about it. We added a new addition to our family last October, a Shiloh shepherd, she is as sweet as can be but till now they never eat together only have ten minute play dates outside because my yorkie doesn't seem to like her. My Shiloh, rapunzel, will be wagging her tail to go sniff at my yorkie and my yorkie growls and snaps at her. I noticed she never bites but a nip. I'm taking it extremely slow but my yorkie still hasn't given the time of day to like the Shiloh. The Shiloh has never been aggressive or dominant towards her the Shiloh always lays down and tries to roll over on her belly but my yorkie won't have anything to do with her. Whenever they are together my yorkie has ears back and is very cautious about where she walks.

My yorkie has been with other dogs and is great with them. And my friends are telling me that my yorkie might be jealous that she has to share attention now with the other dog but I have made it my priority to always have one on one time with each of my dogs so they have their "me" time.
I just want my dogs to get along where they can enjoy being outside together ( I will always be supervising)

We also recently moved and my Shiloh is adjusting beautifully but my yorkie isn't doing so great that's where I think she is having anxiety issues too.

How can I make her more comfortable and to get along with my other dog?
Sorry if this is long but it's been 5 months since the two dogs met and they barely get along

Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I don't have any advice, but hopefully someone who has more experience will drop by soon. Has your Yorkie been spayed?

She has but I figured out it is the move lol thank you though she's getting used to a new place she's warming up slowly though

Hi there and welcome to YT!

Yeah, it takes a while for dogs to adjust to ANY changes. I think Yorkies might even be more sensitive to it (based on my experience). So, new dog in the family...just gonna take some time. You sound like you are easing them into being around each other so that is good. I've found that it usually takes about a week(ish) for them to adjust to new homes...just get into a routine and settled and things should get better. Dogs LIVE for routines!
