My first Yorkie has definitely claimed me, and the other dogs know it and their place. It works for all of them. If they forget she's top dog, she reminds them. She definitely "mothers" (bosses!) all of them. Makes sure they all get to eat, etc. Kinda funny because she's aggressive insomuch as she makes sure she's 'top dog', but very compassionate to them when they need something or are doing something they might get hurt on...like she'll head butt them away from the old dog that couldn't handle them (old dog died this past summer), keeps them from the stair railing, etc. Likes to make sure each dog is in their bed before she settles down.
Plus she "tattles" on anyone who poops off the pad. Funny, but I think it's like the others said, yours has claimed you. As long as it's just that, it shouldn't get much worse as long as each dog remembers their place in the pack-- and may need a reminder once in awhile.
