I've had my yorkie puppy Tobi for 3 weeks now, and it seems like he's becoming more and more aggressive with me. When my pup gets into stuff he shouldn't, I give him a firm "NO" and try to re-direct him to his toys, but he just winds up going NUTS and barking at me like crazy. When he DOES bark, I leave him alone for 10 minutes. When I come back, he's sweet for the first few minutes, but then he's back to his usual business. I'm not sure where this aggression is coming from because I never physically reprimand my pup, and I do reward him for his good behavior.

Has anyone else experienced this growing aggression and is this "just a phase"?
