Molodets, I rescued a tiny 4 year old Tpoo. Because he was so little people would pick him up, quickly, with one hand. Not only did that frighten him but I would watch his head snap down. It reminded me of whiplash from car accidents. As he got older, he had back problems so I got him x-rayed. He had 3 slipped disc's in his neck.
When you pick up your tiny dog, put one hand under his belly and the other hand by his chest & chin so his head doesn't snap down. He could be frightened and feeling a little pain if he's not picked up slowly & safely.
People treat toy breeds as though they were actual toys. We all know they are delicate & can get injured easily.
He still pees when I come close to him and when he sees unfamiliar people.
So we decided to buy him diapers.
When he pees we ignore and dont get annoyed.
I think this will help him with time to over come the fear.
It took my Remo a long time to stop that for most circumstances but it can still happen only at the vet. Can't really blame him for that. He wasn't at all mistreated but some of his early visits were definitely not fun.
Good idea to do something that makes you more relaxed.
Never seen a dog in a nappy before!
