Don't allow any guarding behavior at all. If your Yorkie starts guarding like give a warning cue word you use every time like, 'Enough" No, Stop It, or Be Good ! If a growl, or stalking behavior starts, Give your cue word and put him on the floor immediately. Never allow children (or silly adults) to tease the dog by patting your chair or you to get them to behave with jealously. | Absolutely agree!!! Excellent.
