We have a Yorkie-Pooh. She's about 4-5 yrs old. She loves people, but she barks something awful. If she's sitting on someones lap or near them and someone approaches where she's at she starts growling really low and if you keep going she will bite you. That goes for my wife, also. We can't even kiss goodnight. It's like she's guarding that person. What do we do?

you really need a professional trainer for this one, but the first thing to do is not let her up on anything or anyone. No sitting on the couch, no sitting on people's laps. Lean down and pet her, but she stays on the floor. Small dogs are terrible about resource/people guarding, and it is completely unacceptable. Good luck!
