Another thing that is quite effective is when you have company is changing your normal seat. Instead of sitting on the sofa or favorite recliner that you always share with your Yorkie. Change to a kitchen chair or sit in that uncomfortable little chair no one likes.
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. |
I was wondering what is wrong with patting, not the teasing kind. But sometimes we do practice things so joel doesn't get protective of me, I thought it's good to do that so they learn they can't control who goes by you. Like someone can do whatever they want by me and Joel is the one that needs to move and not get between or growl at the person. Just wondering
