I wish I had an answer but I would definitely make sure that the puppy knows this is not OK. This might never be the case with your puppy but some dogs like yorkies can be very very dog aggressive as they get older. This is a problem if they meet up with another dog that will not take their BS, that is what happened with one of my past yorkies and the outcome was awful. Had my dog not gotten in the face trying to attack a bigger dog he would still be with me today. Some puppies grow out of this play type attacking, some don't. Lola is an only dog and I have always bragged that she gets on with all other dogs, however something recently happened that really scared me. We stopped to converse with a year old Westie male, he and the owners were very friendly. Lola was doing her normal happy tail wag sniffing going in circles greeting when out of blue she bit into and hung on to the Westies whisker area. The Westie pulled back afraid, but had that dog decided to bite back it would not have been nice. So all along I have been more concerned in asking people if their dog is nice, now I am afraid Lola will do this again to a not so friendly dog. I tell you sometimes having a small dog is very nerve wracking when out in public |
