Toy dogs and toddlers just are not a good mix. How old is Maxx? When dogs are socialized as puppies, they see adults and children as two completely different things. If he wasn't socialized around children at a young age, he may be wary of them. Is it possible your son was rough with Maxx and scared him? Toddlers just are not capable of being careful with these little dogs. You've really got to supervise them at all times or keep them seperated when you aren't watching.
