I agree have him check esp since the dog had him by the neck
It pisses me off the way people just shrug these things off
I had my two pups out almost for the first time when they were about 3 months old and they were learning to leash walk
and a woman comes over with two Yorkies of her own without leashes
wanting to see the puppies
Well one of her dogs goes to nip one of mine
I scooped up my dog and shot her a look like
What the hell lady?
and she just said
Oh he was protecting my other dog
From Puppies? I walked away
without saying anything because if I did it would have been an expletive
