Dinky thinks he is our protector too. He will bark and growl at large dogs; he is okay with dogs that are his size or smaller. Well, he weighs 4 pounds, so that does not happen often.
It really is a problem. I feel that Dinky misses out on playmates.
And he also barks at people when he does not know them or does not know them well.
I've said the when Dinky acts like this it is not barking, it is cursing. I mean if I had a doggie translator, Dinky would be saying, " You %%!@@ creature. Get the &%$#((( away from my family! Now, I will attack you **$$#@ now!"
I have finally convinced my DH who spoils Dinky that our little guy would be happier if he we taught him to behave better.
It really distresses me. |
