My 2 1/2 year old yorkie has recently started showing signs of aggression. If he is on my lap anyone who walks near us or goes to pet him he will growl and snap and try to bite them. He is also doing this when he has a dog bone and we go to take it away. But, I could understand the bone thing, but what is going on with the lap, is it his way to say this is my time and he doesn't want anyone to interfere?
