Sometimes ppl *cough*(me) *cough*. Let their yorkies get away with and do things that they wouldn't let a larger breed do. Jumping on my lap, growling, excessive barking, nipping, etc. These are things that I would never condone from a larger breed but with my 2# yorkinator? What harm could he really do to someone? As the owner, we control what we allow our pups to get away with. Reinforce the behaviors that you find acceptable whether it be with praise, playtime, or treats and find ways to deter unwanted reactions.
