Is your yorkie aggressive?
 

Mine will put fear in anyone that visits !!

What sex is your yorkie? I'm just wondering if males are more aggressive or just certain yorkie are..

Cody is 6 yo, I adopted him when he was 2 1/2 is not aggressive towards ppl, he LOVES the ladies lol, but he is not dog friendly.

Mine are not aggressive and I would never allow it. My boy barks at new comers but all are very friendly and run up to them wanting to be pet and if the person sits down the are climbing on them to give kisses. I have one boy and two girls. My boy is an extremely cuddle bug not an aggressive bone in his little body. They all seem to love people and other dogs.

Agressive or not
 

My Joey has a totally glass storm door that he looks out of every day to watch the world go by. He has always loved the people that have come in the house and loves the attention and yet when anyone comes on the porch he comes on like cujo and looks as though he would tear them apart with his whole 3.5 lbs of body weight that he throws against the glass door all the while jumping and barking at the top of his lungs. There have been sales men that would not come up on the porch to talk with me when seeing his aggressive behavior and one time a package was delivered on the second step instead of being put on the porch by the front door as they always do. I told my husband that I thought he must be getting a bad reputation if they had to deliver the package that way. lol But I doubt if he would actually hurt anyone.

lol, lil Joey is a big dog in a little package.

Duchess is the same way, she is not dog friendly but she loves people and cats. Duchess even has her very own pet cat Chloe.:p I got Chloe just for Duchess as she seem to have this fascination with cats.

She does not like other dogs at all. When we are in the dog park, as long as other dogs just sniff her and leave her alone she is okay but if they want more attention from them, she will bark at them. She is not aggressive and will not attack them, she just barks at them and will not play with them.

Lacey & Kaycee bark if they hear someone at the door but are total lovebugs once they know its a friendly person. However, growls abound at the alarm clock in the morning!! Its fine cuz I feel the same way! :D:D

A burglar entering my house would have to be grievously worried about being licked to death. Sadie doesn't bark at anything unless she wants a treat or to go out, then it's one sorry little "woof" BUT if she had a bell on her tail, it would be deafening. :D

Never allow a dog living in my house to be aggressive. We train that trait out of our companion pets. Yorkies are natural, protective watch dogs who bark to hail, alert, communicate their current feelings but beyond that, an aggressive pet dog is always an insecure dog, eventually becoming dangerous to himself and others, who lives with (a) human(s) without sufficient leadership skills to create the certainty in the dog's mind that his family group or 'pack' has a strong, confident leader he knows can and will keep it orderly, secure and safe, a role the poor dog then tries his best to assume - a too-heavy mantle he innately senses he's ill-equipped to wear, creating a state of inner anxiety, over-excitement and defensiveness. Aggressive dogs are often so anti-social they become increasingly isolated, something the naturally social canine completely abhors, creating even more anxiety and insecurity, often leading to a fearful dog.

Assuming the role of confident, quiet, loving leadership and training the aggression out of a pet dog is the kindest thing his human can do for him besides caring for his basic needs. A good pet watch dog is very effective and self-fulfilled in that role without needing to be aggressive.

Our pup is not aggressive at all.

As a rule, Piper is not aggressive, so-to-speak. She is very little-dog friendly, avoids the big ones, and has no problem approaching people when we're out and about. Piper barks when someone comes to door, but settles down when guest comes in--and she's quiet and friendly to 'company.' As I said, it's the occasional repairman that causes her aggressive side to surface. I've tried ignoring her and reprimanding her. A couple of the repairmen said to just let be and meander about, they didn't mind---and she'll be fine until they shove something around or such, then she barks, etc. I don't 'baby' Piper when she behaves badly (none of the oohh, honey, it's ok, don't be scared crap). The scenario (random repairs) doesn't occur often, but I don't know how to get my Piper to settle down and back off when it does...!

"it's the occasional repairman" (I don't know how to do the quote thingy)

Sometimes I think our little buggers read people better than we do! :D

Amen-amundo!! Piper buddy-ed up to a couple of repairmen, was wary of one, and she wouldn't let one guy come back in the house after he'd fixed a plumbing problem. She and I were in complete accord with each and everyone of 'em! I've never been a real good judge of people, initially...I tend to trust Piper's intuitive take on strangers.
