I wont bother repeating what everyone else has already stated, but I will add that it is important to take into account the fact that chis are, by nature, "one person dogs". The fact that you say this is happening while he is sitting with your sister....so sounds to me like he has made your sister "his person". While the behavior does need to be corrected, I think that is an important aspect to remember and keep in mind while trying to correct the behavior....that is second nature to a chi to choose a single person to be "the" person.
