I have a female yorkie, she is very independent and she has shown signs of being agressive towards me when I am holding her and she wants down she will yap and snap at my face but not making contact with my face. I have told her NO in a firm voice and had some good results but when I am holding her in my lap while seated if she wants to get down she will get ill and want to bite my hand or anything close. I don't believe in hitting a dog, I am just so crushed I have waited so long for a Yorkie and was thinking she would be my little lap dog but she has no interest in that. I don't know if I should sell her and give up!! She does have her moments of being sweet, I am concerned though if she will be mean when she gets older I have Grandchildren that visit and the thought of haveing to keep her away from them does not set well with me. Help please????
