Just a second opinion!
Great advice. I agree, the little one is afraid, as well he should be. He is using all his power to seem bigger and tough, but that can also get him hurt. Your first, and only responsibility is to keep your little guy safe, which means keeping him at a distance, even in a pen or crate if other big dogs are around.
