I don't know what it is about Bostons and Yorkies. They just don't mix!

I really feel for you because I am in the same situation. I am trying to socialize my very small, timid yorkie, and we've had a few run-ins with Bostons. I think as a breed they are very playful and don't take no for an answer.

I don't know if this will help you, but what I'm doing is taking Thor to doggy daycare. They have a lot of personnel there and they are careful about mixing dogs, so they won't pick Thor up if he gets wussy - they want him to learn to take care of himself.

HOWEVER, if we are out in the park together and he gets scared of another dog, I pick him up. I want him to know that if he gets chased he should come straight back to Mommy. My hope is that this gives him more confidence to explore.
