My five-month-old female Papillon and my two-year old male Yorkie are great friends when they are playing with each other. But when my Yorkie tries to show affection to me (licking my chin, laying in my lap, ect.) my Papillon growls and bites him till he gets away. Then, she sits on my lap and prevents him from coming closer. These bites are never hard, but it's not fair to the other dog.
When people she is not familiar with come over, she barks at them and sits by me. It can take 30mins or more for her to stop barking, unless I pick her up.
Does anyone have a method (aside from dog training classes) to get her to stop? My Yorkie can never properly have peace and lay by me if she keeps being so possessive over me.

Recommended Answer:
It's simple - don't let her do it!!! You can surely be the pack leader to a tiny papillon. Firmly tell her no the split second she growls, do not give her attention unless and until she is calm and behaving. The same thing with her barking at people. Does this dog get enough exercise? Lots of exercise will definitely help, then discipline (meaning rules), then affection only when its been earned. You have to stop this puppy now before this behaviour has time to escalate.
