| Charging at Children Has anyone else had a Yorkie that charges at children's ankles? Normally Holly (who is 5 months old) is timid and polite, but she had her first introduction to kids (they were ages 7 and 4) and she seemed afraid of them but curious. All of a sudden, randomly she would charge their ankles and sort of nip at them. I've never seen her do this to anyone before. It almost seemed like she was playing but it was far to aggressive for my liking, and the kids were fearful of her. Any advise on what this might mean or how to correct it would be awesome! |

| My Piccolo did that with my nieces when they were young. I put Piccolo in another room. I imagine should have done some training about this behavior.
