Is he still a puppy and just thinks you are a bigger version of him?? LOL My little guy will dig at me when I am on the floor and he can't see my face or if I am at the computer and he needs to go out, he will hit me with his paws. The only other thing that he does that we are working on to correct is that when we come home I always say a brief hello and then take them out potty and sometimes he will jump up and grab my clothes....but we are working to stop that behavior. My yorkie is a male one year old but I have only had him six months.
