9 mos. old now. A couple of months ago, our Yorkie started growling at my husband whenever he tried to touch me. Now it's a full-out, from across the room, running to my side and defending me quite aggressively. Last night when we put her in her crate and we were saying goodnight to each other, she tried to get out of the crate to defend me from his kiss.

Mind you, this is a Yorkie that LOVES my husband. Follows him everywhere, spends quality time with him walking and playing every day, etc. The three of us are a unit all day, every day. She doesn't do this when I approach HIM. Just the other way around. He can't even hug me when she's around.

Any suggestions? Do we need to see a doggie therapist?
