However he likes to bite on my kids clothes and yank at them and growl at the same time which can be scary for them. Also I had a friend over the other day and he started to do the same to her. Even if i give the kids the leash to take him out in the yard he starts growling biting at their pants leg and wont walk to do his business. Is this normal pup play or is he gonna be aggressive? I dont remember this behavior w/ my other yorkies. I tell him no when he does this and tap his behind but it gets to be annoying cause he can totally be fine than if they run or walk fast by him he starts with that behavior

What I did which worked for me is scream "ouch" every single time my dog put his teeth anywhere on me EVEN my clothes no matter how hard or soft. Even if he's just playing, this is behavior that I personally would not like my dog to have. Now, Teddy only growls when I play tug-o-war with him and that's about it. I don't think your pup is being aggressive, he just doesn't understand boundaries, which is something that you need to teach him. Patting him on the butt will not really work. Just try screaming "ouch" every single time and eventually your pup will get it, promise!
