| how can i stop my yorkie barking at other dogs? Hello, I have a three year old yorkie called Ruby who is a real character. She is perfect in the home but when I take her for walks she barks at other dogs. Usually if i walk past fast enough she calms down but if i want to stop for a coffee and one walks past i usually end up having to leave as she barks non stop and i feel embarrassed that i cant stop her. I have tried all the usual things . like muzzling ( which i hate as she is not aggressive), treating her when she stops barking but with nothing seems to work. If anyone has any ideas I would be so grateful. Thank you in advance Emma and Ruby |

| Have you taught your dog some basic obedience commands? If your dog learns to obey you in things like sit, stay, come you can then add things like, no bark. Once your dog realizes that you are in charge and not him he will feel less like he must defend by barking. You can also try posting this in the general training section so you may get some more responses from people experienced with training. |

| My little one does that. We live in an apartment and he thinks the entire property is his! We have recently purchased the Thundershirt and it is helping... I'd say try that before you spend money on a class that may not work. Yorkies are STUBBORN and do what they want... at least mine does. |
