eats, because once they guard it only gets carried over into almost everything. Food gurading, toy guarding, couch and bed guarding.
She sounds like a trip.LOL Stay on top of her or your little yorkie
will become not a nice pet to live with.
It's funny because I DO make her sit before she eats. And, she's always let me take her food from her NO PROBLEM! I realllly don't want this to carry over into any other areas! I'm gonna also try a squirt bottle. That's how I got her to behave when she was really little (she's only a year old now).

I just recently started letting her have flossys and she LOVES THEM! My maltese doesn't have this problem... but he is MOST DEFINITELY NOT the alpha.
