You are not being over protective - you are being a good Yorkie mom!
I don't think a lot of people think their big dogs (or even small dogs) would go after another dog. We all love our dogs and think they are the sweetest things on the planet. But dogs do not always act the same around other dogs as they do with their humans. It is always better to be safe then sorry. I would much rather offend my neighbor than have to take one of my babies to the vet with injuries.
You are doing everything you should be doing. I have had play dates with my friends Yorkies and the first five minutes the first time was a little tense - for the dogs and the humans. 5 minutes later, they were playing like they were best buds and we were taking photos like crazy. |
