My 4yrold/10 lb yorkie tucker + I moved into a new house last June. We have one neighboring family. The neighbors bought their young boys a german shepherd pup for Christmas. Tucker gets along with the boys, but would rather have nothing to do with the pup (who now weighs MUCH more than Tucker). If we go outside while the pup is out, the pup comes over wanting to play and Tucker attacks the puppy. The pup then cowers + pees submissively, but keeps after Tucker.
I know this is going to be a big dog when it is grown and I want to correct this behavior as soon as possible. What can I do to keep Tucker from attacking the pup?
(Oh, if it matters, Tucker has been neutered and it is a female puppy.)
Thanks!
