I agree with Maximo and Lovetodream on this. Some yorkies are innately suspicious of strangers and are protective of their owners. While sometimes it can be seen as "cute" and a good thing (being suspicious/wary) it can also be a nuisance if you have friends over or take them on a public outing since they're likely to cause a scene. I would teach Chloe to "stay" when ppl approach it's a great command to know in any situation including those when ppl are approaching. I'm glad that you trusted your intuition that guy sounds awfully shady! Encounters like that always make me nervous to walk my dogs do you think you could carry pepper spray?
