What your Yorkie is doing is gurading. It could be a toy, food, a piece of
furniture and in your case an area. He is unsure of his position in your
pack. You need to become the Alpha and show him he can count on
you to be his leader. Sounds silly, I know but it is true.
I went through this with Buddy. When you enter the room talk gently
to him and then throw down a treat, his favorite and continue going
about your business. Do this whenever you feel he is gurading something.
He needs to trust you. Ceaser Millan has wonderful idea for this type of
behavior. His dvd's can be order on line and are worth the money.
Good luck. |
