Possessive; Protective - it's all the same to a dog. He feels the needed to protect you because he is possessive of you. Doesn't matter how long anyone has been in the household before him. It matters only how you treat him and where you have elevated him to in the pack. Advise above is correct.
Also for training treats try: cooked chicken (you can get it out of the cans if you want), cheese, hotdogs (cut up into very very small pieces); or liverwurst or brunswieger or other sandwich meats, bologna is good.
For chew sticks - Try bully sticks from free-range cows:

(I have not met a yorkie who did not like these.) You cannot get them at your local petco or petsmart. You may be able to get them a dog boutique, but on-line is good.
