I'm also concerned about bigger dogs and injury. About 10 weeks ago, my yorkie girl was bitten by another dog. They were both off the lead when they met, sniffed and then ignored each other whilst waiting for the humans to stop talking and get on with the walk.
Out of the blue after a few minutes I heard a yelp from my dog and she moved behind me, the other dog carried on lying by her ball. Thankfully the wound has healed, the fur is growing back and she seems every bit as confident and sociable as before.
My dog will let the other dog know if that's enough sniffing and she will move away first then if they persist she will snap. My worry is about playful puppies and bigger dogs who ignore a telling off and keep bothering her as I'd hate her to be aggressive towards them or to incite aggression from them. Any advice?
