Are both male dogs neutered? If not getting them neutered is a necessity.
If they are, then sounds like the yorkie is very territorial. it sound like the bigger dog has a very submissive personality.
I would not swat. I would correct with a nip to his neck with my fingers. Make it immediate and quick. This is a language they understand. Adding a snapping noise (like a dog would do) would be good also. Letting him know that you are the boss and YOU will decide who sleeps where.
I just believe speaking to them in their own language is more effective.
Also walking towards him, making him back up is a good exercise to teach him that you are the boss. |
