I love dogs so much I had token in a stray one at once. But I had a pet yorkie once as well, her name was Diamond. She was a friends old pet and my experience with her was amazing. When I first met her she was a shy dog and she did not know me so I used some of my learning background on them and realized what I needed to be done. I just allowed her to get my scent and I didn't force her to like me I just at times pet her here and there. As time processes she came around and she gained my trust she would follow me and sleep with me. Her last owner didn't walk her outside much so outside was a whole new world to her. So I had to teach her how that the outdoors wasn't a scary place, it was hard at first but she trust me once again and loved the outdoors so much now. She trusted me so much that I was able to walk her without a leash, she would just follow right by side me. I can honestly say I got that dog out her comfort zone and bonded with her just from the knowledge I had on dogs. No help from anyone.
