So my spunky “little” teapot yorkie, Toby, has started some new awful habit of going up to people passing by us ( yes he’s on a leash but I can’t always reel him in fast enough, we live in a busy apartment complex now) and acting like he’s just sniffing them but once he’s behind them, he jumps up and starts snarling and trying to attack their leg. Male, female, doesn’t matter. If they pay attention to him, he’s fine. It’s when they ignore him that he does this. So far no one has complained, but it’s gonna happen eventually. I went from letting him run free in the courtyard to always being on a leash now to try and prevent this, but sometimes it happens too fast. You never know whether he’s gonna do it or not because he doesn’t have a tell. When he does it and I reprimanded him, he knows he’s done wrong right away cause he cowers from my voice immediately ( which until now the boy hasn’t been reprimanded in YEARS) … and never physically. But he knows he’s been bad, but won’t stop doing it. It’s frustrating me.
