I am new to the forum and i tried searching for other threads about these topics but couldn't find anything. So im sorry if this is a repeat.

My yorkie, Jasmine is about 5 months old and is around people and other dogs all the time. I also have a golden retriever that is about 4 months. They get along great, they play together all the time and when taking a walk they wait for each other it's cute. But when they are left inside for even a few minutes Jasmine barks nonstop. How do i get her to stop barking when i leave? I do not put them in cages, could that be the reason? I also hate taking her for walks or being anywhere that people she doesn't know are because she barks and growls at everyone. How do i stop her from growling so much, i've tried picking her up around strangers to make her feel safe, pulling her leash close to me, saying no, saying be a good girl. Sometimes repeating be a good girl works and other times it doesn't. I really don't know what to do, all of the other older yorkies in the neighborhood are worse than jasmine and try to attack people and other dogs. I don't want her to be like that, how do i get her to stop. HELP!!!
