Hi.
I was happy to find that I can move Choppers food away or add some without him given me a second thought even with a second dog in the house. He met a little boy about 5 at the vet holding another yorkie and he was very sweet and calm to them both. But he will run through the house growling the whole way or growl while chewing a toy and its just him in the room. I think its little dude syndrome and he's showing the toy whose boss and growling while running like he's saying yep I run this. His growls are in sync with tail wagging or a complete licking if he cathes whomever he is running behind so, not much help.
