I LOVE my little Milano and I know he loves me as well. We're almost always together. He rarely ever barks and he socializes will with friends, family, and strangers. The only thing is, he seems to hate other dogs! No matter the age, breed, or size, if Milano see's a dog, he will charge after it like a bull with red eyes! I can't begin to explain how many times he has tried to attack other dogs while on our daily walks. One time in particular, I almost thought we were both going to die when Milano went running after an aggressive Pit-bull. (I used to allow Milano to walk without a leash but after that fearful day, I don't do that too much anymore.) I must say, it's sort of cute watching my little 5lb piece of joy try to defeat what looks like a 40lb beast. But I know this is not a healthy way of living. If anyone has any suggestions as to why Milano might be so aggressive towards other canines and how I can help him become more accepting of them, please let me know. I would really appreciate the advice.
