Let me tell you a true story. I own and have obedience trained 2 large dogs to CD level title. And then there was my Yorkie Razzle. He too began obedience training.

Now somewhere along the way between 2-3 yrs old he began to resource guard me. Once I realized this was happening I immediately took him off my bed or chair and did not allow him back up for awhile. If after a few minutes he came up again and did that nasty growling he was crated for the remainder of the night. I will not countenance a biting or growling dog. A growl is usually a prelude to a bite!. \\

Be consistent and firm with your dog. Know within the depths of your being you will NOT accept bad behaviour especially bites. Do Not let this young dog nibble on your fingers nor any other part of your body. Set the correction and stick to it! Calmly but firmly.
