I won't say never, just never yet have I picked up Razzle when a large dog approaches, either leased or unleashed. But I try always to be prepared. That means shortening up the lead, observing very closely the approach. He is always walked on a halter as well. This means very quickly I could pull him up out of harms reach.

This is a delicate balancing act for sure. To help your dog "safely" not to be afaird of larger dogs, but to actually try to keep your dog safe from other dogs.... without instilling a fear in your dog.

I don't know quite frankly what is the right answer for you and your dog. I think that there are many variables in play. How quick you are to re-act, how aggressive your Yorkie is, how strong or dominant you are.....
