I've never had a dog in my entire life that other people couldn't handle and pet. And, I'm not going to start now that I have a little Yorkie. Actually, now that I'm think about it - very few people have actually ever lifted him up and held him, but a lot of people do stop and talk to him and pet him..... I'm glad they do. That's the reason I take him with me. So he can make new friends and meet different people (and animals).
You might hold your dog in my your arms so another person can't pick him up. If he's in a cart, you could hook him to the cart so that no one cantake him out.
I guess you just have to be creative, stay at home, or let someone pick up your dog once in a while.
Good luck!

Thanks, but it's actually only happened like twice when someone actually picked him up. I don't mind people petting him at all, but I just think it's rude to go and pick up a strangers dog w/o asking first. For these very few people, I dont want to keep Rocky at home.
