| How to stop my Yorkie from barking so much? I have a yorkie that barks at everyone. She will grawl at them. My father pasted away last feb and thats when it all started. Before then she didnt make a sound we thought something was wrong and took her to the vet. But now she is very protective the vet says. But what can I do we travel alot and I dont wont her doing that out. |

| How old id she? if she is still a pup she may be going through a fear period. I am having the same issue with Bella, and she is 16 weeks old. so I just keep telling her no when she does this, and I have been trying to introduce her to as many strangers as possible, so she understands that people are ok, and I have been carrying treats around with me, and when we have people that want to see her I give them a treat to give to Bella. that way she comes to associate peop;e with treats, and will quit barking and growling at everyone..and it seems to be working, she is barking less and less at people now.

| Hmmm... does she do the same thing when she is not in the stroller? She may be feeling insecure and might have the idea that by keeping her in a stroller that you also don't think she's safe out in the world. Just guessing here... Why don't you try walking her on a leash and ask other people to give her a treat? Maybe then she will trust others as they will be the source of good things - oh and make sure the treat is a REALLY good one. |

| Sorry we've been out of town. She actually did good this weekend about not barking. She has a stroller and is actually better when she is not in it. She does better on a leash. |
