RE: How to Stop a Yorkshire Terrier from Barking
@captainamazing I know what you mean about these small dogs barking at big dogs. It can get pretty frightening. One way I discovered to make sure you're alpha to your dog is to play tug of war and make sure to win. If you lose, the dog thinks he's alpha and then gets more aggressive until you start winning again. At least, that's how it was with my dog. He's not a Yorkie, though.
Holly,
It's interesting you mentioned tug of war, as some people seem to think that's it's a bad game to play with your dog. But you're right, winning will teach them you're in charge. Of course, it might be harder with a St. Bernard! LOL
