I did some research on my silky yorkie and it said that they sometimes think they're the pack leader and will start to bark a lot as protection, and start fights with other dogs, etc. Well, I am sad to say that I believe my Lexi is just that. Lately she barks when ever someone knocks on the door, if someone enters my bedroom, if someone is walking down the hallway, also with other animals lately she has gotten aggressive. Mostly happens when I'm petting another dog she gets mad, or if she has a bone, she will growl and bark at my roommates cat as if she thinks it will steal her treat so I don't give her them anymore. She is my first dog, I have no idea how to correct this. I usually give her a firm no, or I hold her in my arms until she settles, tell her to be quiet , and tell her good girl when she listens.
