We have a 14wk female yorkie. I've noticed over the last week or so, she's started to rub against things as she walks by. Sometimes she'll turn around and do it several times. Is this some kind of territorial behavior? Is there any way we can train her to stop doing that? We had a male Yorkie a while back, and we thought we had taught him not to rub against the furniture like that by distracting him, but it turned out he only learned not to do it while he thought we weren't watching.
