Even though our Yorkies are cute, adorable and we let them get away with almost murder. I am still a firm believer in staying "top dog". What I mean by this is your little one feels you are below him, that he rules the roost not you. And by governing the bed which a lot of dogs do, this is his way of telling you that you rate lower than him and shows lack of respect.
I am a firm believer in a happier loving dog is one who is trained and knows their limits, just as human kids.
I agree with the kennel training. Let him whine, he will get over it. You need to become "top dog" to him. In no way ever should a dog turn on their master. You must remain the alfa dog!!
I know I am firm in my email but that is my belief towards dogs.
I love Schatzie to death...I even allow her more leverage just cuz of her cuteness. But even that cuteness has it's level's.
Basic training should bring your dog back to "dog level"...
It's little things that your dog needs to see you do. You eat first, then him. You enter the door into the room, then him. Trust me, they take notice of all our actions to tell him who the alfa dog is.
I hope this helps.
