This smallish dog has a high level of energy and is courageous, extremely loyal and very intelligent. The Yorkshire is affectionate with its human owner, but if not properly trained to recognize humans as the dog pack leader, they are apprehensive of strangers and can be overly aggressive toward unfamiliar dogs and other small animals. Yorkshire Terriers can also bark often in an effort to communicate what they want as an exhibition of 'small dog' syndrome.
Although sometimes stubborn if not given proper socialization and boundaries, Yorkies are easy to train. When humans demonstrate appropriate pack leadership to the Yorkshire Terrier they are very charming and loving and are a wonderful family pet.
Problems usually are a result when owners misunderstand the small size and allow them to take over the house. These are truly sweet little dogs that require owners who understand how to provide them with kind but firm leadership.
