I found these two videos on YouTube, and when I saw them, was pretty shocked, and left a comment. The owner of the dog replied and basically told me the behavior was "OK" because he was protecting the puppy, and told me that I have no sense of humor. I want you guys to be the judge..
Video in question:
My initial response (I am ryancav) was:
"You really can't let your dog snap at you like that....... really bad"
..to which they replied:
"What is it like to have no sense of humor? Do you suggest that we beat a harmless, 5 lb. dog for simply protecting what he thinks is his? Good grief! This is one of the most affectionate and loving dogs there has ever been, but he is very possessive of something he thinks belongs to him. He is a dog that loves everyone he meets.This is a common trait for Yorkies, and that is why there are so many other videos of this nature on YouTube. Just relax, man. It'll be ok."
Now, I'm all for people doing whatever they want, but that video was hard to watch. Am I wrong for thinking that this behavior should be corrected?
edit: There is another video below of the same dogs:
