If you travel frequently, you may find that your Yorkshire terrier will not like that at all.
My Yorkie actually had a change in personality once I began leaving home for several days each month.
If this describes your situation, there is a way to make everyone happy.
Think about how frequently you will be travelling, how your dog's behavior changes when you return back home, and what you do with your Yorkie once you are together again.
Dogs do not understand why humans leave home.
Their home is their castle, and they would prefer to stay there at all times.
When we leave for extended periods of time it is confusing for them and they tend to react in bizarre ways.
It is up to us, as their responsible owners, to make sure they feel secure enough to be themselves all of the time.
Think about how often you will be travelling.
It may be several days a month, in which case you will want to have someone come into your home and care for your dog while you are away.
If there are already other people who live in your home full time, discuss with them what will go on while you are away.
It is important to maintain some consistency, no matter who will be at home and in charge of caring for your Yorkshire terrier.
The smallest things can make a huge difference.
My Yorkie, Sarah, has her own bed and two toys.
I finally figured out that when I was away she did not have access to her bed and toys.
She had another bed to sleep in, but it just wasn't the same.
I only figured this out when I put the other bed down on the floor one day.
She reacted in such a way that I almost did not recognize her.
It was as though she were a completely different dog.
Once I arranged for her to have her own bed, everything improved.
You must sit down with the person who will be in charge of your pet while you are away.
Tell them exactly what you would like to happen when you are travelling, and show them how you do various things, such as feeding and walking your dog.
Simple things can be done exactly the same way to maintain continuity.
All of this will lead to a happier Yorkshire terrier in your home.
