Why is my yorkie so afraid all the time?

My Yorkie is afraid of EVERYTHING. Me, my family members, certain objects, ever loud farts! It annoys everyone because he runs everytime someone comes within 5 feet of him. Everyone thinks that he might have been abused but he wasn't, at all. The lady said he's just always been timid but why? Are all yorkies like this? How can I help him NOT be so afraid. He's 3 yrs old.

What’s my dogs risk factor if my neighbor’s dog died of parvo?

My neighbor's boston terrier was put to sleep today because she had advanced parvovirus. She hasn't been in my yard since WAY before she displayed symptoms and my 6 dogs haven't been in her yard, but is there any risk to my dogs being so close? If so, is there anything that I can do?
I'm planning to give my 8 month old pup a parvo booster tonight and my 5 adult dogs were just given their boosters less than 2 months ago.
Just some more info, my pup finished her puppy series of shots at 4 mths, and now she's 8 mths, so it hasn't been that long. All my dogs are up to date on all shots.

What are the signs that a dog is suffering from heat stroke? How do we treat it?

I think my dog suffered from heat stroke. But I'm not sure if that was the case. He was like lying in one corner the whole day, breathing heavily with mucus and saliva coming out of his mouth. He lost his appetite but I'm pretty sure that he didn't eat something really bad. I thought it was heat stroke because yesterday was 39 degrees Celsius (Believe it or not) here in Manila. Hope you have any home remedies or idea on how to treat this since we cant afford to go to the vet. Hope you guys can help me on this… Thank you very much!

Can a dog get Parvo after they have had the vaccination for it?

I am just checking . . . I guess you can call me paranoid. But we recently were moving and had to bring some furniture to a friend's house. They had a puppy die of parvo back in April and I just am curious if he could catch it. He was in my arms all the time we were there but he did run around the yard but not where the puppy went to the bathroom. Please let me know!
He is not showing any symptoms of it at all. Like I said before I may just be paranoid. He is a 7 month old West Highland White Terrier!
He was fully vaccinated for it.

Dog in heat suddenly using the house as it’s bathroom?

I have a norwegian elkhound that is about 3.5 years old. Normally she is a very calm, obediant dog. Every time she goes into heat, she decides that my carpet makes a much better bathroom than outside. I'l take her out and walk her forever. She will urinate everytime I take her out. Normally she will head towards the front door when she is finished, but now as soon as I let her in she will immediately poop on the floor, regardless of how long we have been outside. Then, if I do not watch her every second, she will urinate on the carpet. These dogs are not the easiest dogs to train as they seem to have a mind of their own and I am tried of having to re-housebreak this dog everytime she goes into heat. When she is not in heat, she wouldn't begin to think of messing in the house, so I don't know why this happens.
