 Behavior Question
I was wondering if anyone's yorkie gets SUPER excited when they see another dog.
Yesterday I was walking DaVinci out to go potty and he spotted another yorkie. He was super excited and started running towards the dog but the leash wouldnt let him. The thing is he starts crying (doesn't bark) if he cant get closer. It got to the point where I tried to carry him to another area so he wouldnt see the dog, but then he tried to jump out of my arms. I try not to have him play with other dogs because I'm afraid other dogs might get hurt because he jumps on them and bites their tails (that's what he does to the chihuahua(his sister)). Does anyone know how I can keep him calm in these kinds of situations? He knows his basic commands like "come here, sit and lay down" but when another dog is present he just forgets im there and doesnt listen to me. Is this normal? And also, how do you know playing vs. fighting?
