Bark much? Help please :( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My 2yr old female yorkie barks at other dogs, kids and unusual moving objects when I bring her, toted in her comfy dog bag, to the park or mall. When she was younger she does not do this and was very well behaved. Now she barks too much and gets all crazy and it scares other people they think she's a viscious attacker. But the truth is my baby wouldn't hurt them she was never agressive upclose and has never tried to bite anyone or any dog since I got her. She's quiet and calm at home but when she's out the too much barking is very annoying. Because of this behavior, I'm hesitant to bring her to public places but it's hard to not take her with me because she is very excited to go ride in the car and not be left at home.

Have you tried to let her walk instead of carrying her?
Small dogs tend to develop napoleon syndrome. When you carry her she is above every other dog or child and she feels secure, so she barks. Try to let her walk and see the world from a different angle.

I made her walk in a leash but still barked a lot and tried to go after some dogs but not fight with them. I guess she just wants to meet them upclose. But the barking is still a big problem :-(

Thanks Maria :-)
