I don't have time right now, but I'll post some suggestions for you later. Or, perhaps YorkieMum will get back to you before me....

That's very good to hear about everything you touched on, especially that the "object-guarding" can be treated. It was also mentioned in the thread about socializing w/ different people and different dogs. Giovanni hasn't had his last set of shots yet (which should be next week actually), so I don't want him around any other dogs yet. But after he's had his shots were would be a good place to socialize with other dogs aside from places like Petsmart and the park?
