| Need help with stranger aggresive yorkie. I have a 1 1/2 year old Yorkie. When anyone comes over he will bark and growl at them for as long as they are in sight. No matter what I do to try and calm him does not work. He doesn't act this way when I take him out for walks or to the park. This problem occurs only when we are at home. Anyone know how this could be fixed? Thanks for any replies. |

| Next time you have friends over, try having them bring a treat. If your yorkie can begin to associate strangers coming over with treats . . then he might be happy to see them! |

| How do they interact with him. Are they picking him up? are they bending over him? are they staring at him? What is his body language other then barking? Give me some more details and let us see if we can work things out. Having quests come give treats may not be enough all by itself but a good idea for sure. JL
