I'm the opposite!
Since having Franklin and Maggie I am now more trusting of big dogs. We had dogs growing up but they were my very first dogs I had on my own. Since having them I have learned SO MUCH about dogs and their behavior. Through researching, watching trainers like Cesar Milan and Victoria Stillwell and my own observation I feel like I can read dogs. We always had small dogs so before Franklin and Maggie I was always timid around big dogs. Now I can approach them without fear because I know how to interpret their body language.
Don't get me wrong I am still careful with Franklin and Maggie.. even if a bigger dog means no harm they can still injure our little Yorkies quite easily. But I just wanted to point out that dogs are dogs and most of them are friendly, large or small. Try not to judge the dog by their size. They may end up being the sweetest thing you've ever met. |
