Acting out

[Misst428]

Hi. I need advice. I had 2 yorkies. One passed away a few months ago. He was 12. My other yorkie is 2 and ever since my other one died, He has become a big turd. Excuse my french, to other dogs. I thought maybe he was lonely so we adopted a shih tzu for company but he doesn't want to have anything to do with him. And still acts out towards other dogs.

Please understand that I'm new. But I like to keep up with all of the posts- and anything with adding new dogs is something I look at, as we will be doing this as soon as daughter leaves or acts responsibly.

I know that it has been stated multiple times that they can act standoffish, and i haven't seen anything but maybe one post (and this dog had a LOT of issues!) where they didn't get along after awhile.

I feel your pain, my chews goes after dogs and my daughter for even going near me. I'm thinking of the day we add Wicket or Leia with a lot of trepidation, but posts on here tell me that it will work out just fine.

Can you describe a bit more what you mean by "acting out"...?

Btw, I'm so sorry for the loss of your 12 yr old kiddo.
