Default Is it normal for my yorkie to be so ugly to everyone other than our family?

Hi. Our yorkie is one years old he is a great dog, was easy to potty train he sleeps in bed with us, and does what he wants most of the day. Which is normally sleeping on the back of the couch.

Ok so the problems we are having is this.
1) anytime anyone comes near him other than myself, hubby or our four year old daughter, he will bark and act as if he is going to bite them. Which at this point he hasnt bitten because we dont allow him close to anyone but I think he might actually bite someone. When we have people over we have to put him in the kennel in our bedroom which he barks the entire time but we have not other choice. If I hold him he just keeps barking and snarling at people. Is this normal yorkie behaviour? Is there anything I can do to help him get over this? He does get shakey and upset when we are getting ready to leave the house but he just gets in his kennel without being told. He stays in his kennel when we leave the house.

2) He barks alot. Not sure why... He barks if we are playing with our Daughter. Like if she starts laughing loud or something he barks like a mad man.


Thanks for any thoughts.
