If it's the dog-walker, she may simply have been trying to give a word to the wise, though it sounds like it came off wrong. If your neighbor said it, that's obviously much more serious, because then they aren't taking responsibility for their own animals. In that case, maybe just go with jmdt's suggestion, and make sure your own fence is really secure.

Sadly, almost any large, aggressive dog could kill a yorkie, so right or wrong, it is up to us to keep our darlings safe.

Sadly, they both said it. The dog-walker said it to me when the incident occurred but then she had a conversation with the owner. We know this because that very night the owner called us and told us that she heard about the incident and started making ridiculous suggestions about how we could control our dogs! We told her there shouldn't be a problem because my dogs were not on her property and they will remain unleashed in our backyard. It's our backyard! Her response to this was that my dogs were not safe off-leash, even in my backyard. This is why I feel threatened by their dogs. It is as if she is trying to protect herself incase her dog's ever get lose again. [I wouldn't feel this way if her dog's were not aggressive.]
