No it was a huge dog that if excited could have hurt someone even playfully. This dog had a neck the size of my waist and a dog can only achieve pull in relation to their suez and weight so no harm was done.

The clue here is learning to deal with distraction when excited. That was my main job when I trained dogs for the police. Dogs of all sizes need to learn about distraction. My little dog now looks for me when anything exciting is going on to get her cue. That has taken a lot of training and most obedience clubs now teach a distraction class. Makes like much safer for any size dog.
