Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I adopted my baby and he has a wonderful habit (we didnt teach him but we do like it) he will not jump up on your lap until he has "permission". He barks and waits for you to tell him either OK or pat your lap. Wasn't sure what he wanted at first, he is amazing. But vocal with his needs. With the right consistent training this may be a blessing? Enjoy Yorkie Talk, I am new also and am addicted already!
