Yeah I get ya! lol
I have a young neice that can be a bit on the rough side with Pixie..she just doesn't know how to handle a dog in a gentle way..she treats them rather like one of her own toys..its not her fault..she just needs to be taught properly..and when I ask her to be gentle and show her how to, she's fine. They now have their own dog..which never gets left in peace...and has now become a bit aggressive! Interestingly, it is a King Charles Spaniel..I have not met many of those that were on the aggressive side?...I just think the poor thing gets fed up with being pulled about
