Im really Piss Off ......
 

i dont know what to do with him ( Neo ) anymore
today as always i took him to the park
he was doing fine , until he cuz me to get biten
by a german shepherd
i dont know what to do with him about barking at big dogs
and i had no choose but to stand in between
and i end up getting bite
i had try everything , even the bark ctrl collar

Maybe an obedience class and lot's and lot's of practice being good and learning manners around other dogs. Lot's of praise for good behavior...

Sorry you got bit.

I'm confused? :confused: How old is you Nemo and was he off leash at the dog park? Are you OK after being bite by the GS? :eek: I think you need to stay out of the dog park and do some socialization in a class with your little guy before exposing him to all the stimulation of a dog park.

Good advice. A park can be overwhelming to any dog regardless of size. I think it is only natural for a dog to bark, seeing as it is the way a dog communicates. My question is, why was this shepard able to bite you? Off leash I am guessing? hmmmm....so was your dog barking in defense or was the barking what stirred the GS to bite you? Yeah...I think I am confused as well! If the barking is a problem then the recommendation of a class as stated above would be ideal.

I kinda know what you are going thru... Gremlin loves to go to the dog park and play fetch with HIS tennis ball. I say it like that bc we always bring HIS and he always makes sure he gets HIS. This guy bought a very large looked like a doberman mix to the park that had a shock collar on... which kinda made me nervous that this large dog had a shock collar on and yet he let her loose. Well the doberman took grem's ball. and grem dealt with it for a min... mostly just whined to me. i took it away from the dog (the owner did nothing) and threw it for grem again. well the big dog took it from grem and grem tried to take it back and the big dog growled at him and grem growled back. He is very territoral about his ball. Well at this point im freaking out and runnin that way bc this dog could eat grem in a sec. The other dogs owner does nothing. So i had to seperate them and thought i was going to get bit myself. I didnt thank goodness. I hope your bite is ok. But i suggest some small group socializing with bigger dogs first maybe even in their territory bc sometimes gremlin thinks the park is his and gets a bit mean. Grem's fur-brother is a daushaund (which isnt big but bigger then gremlin) And he does alot better with larger dogs. As long as they dont come between him and his tennis ball. :) Sorry i was kinda-long winded on that....

i had taken 2 classes so far
he was trying to bite the trainer
i got different kinna bark collar which none of them work

I had Neo since he's 3 months old
he's 2 1/2 now
yes its a off leash park ( stern grove )
and im ok , shirt got rip , lucky it was just a lil bite
didnt hurt that bad
the problem started 4 to 5 month ago
before that he was fine i dont know what happen to him
just 1 day outta the blue he turn into from a teddy bear to a devil LoL
he's been to the park many many time since he was 8 month old

sorry to hear about the german shepherd accident! if this is something that just started happening, please have him checked out by a vet. Often times this is the dog acting out in aggression suddenly because hes in pain. I hardly doubt behaviour problems can arise overnight...maybe you missed the signs beforehand?

its not natural the way he bark
his tail is up , and at time he try to attk the big dog
he get along fine with small or mid size dog
just the big one , he will run up and start to bark
there are time i had to run 1/2 way across the park to get him
cuz while he's barking the big dog run away
and yes that's a off leash park ,
and the reason the shepard was able to bite me cuz
as soon as he bark , the shepard bark back ,
so i stand in between them 2
and pick up Neo , and the shepard bite me on my back
most dogs/people at the park call him the lil bully
cuz they know he bark and most big dog i know there
werent do anything but walk away from him
but this shepard /person
i'd never seen before
and the owner of the shepard call him off
other wise he was still pulling on my shirt

He needs to be checked by a vet since the agression just started recently. Someone else on here had a yorkie that out of the blue became agressive and she ended up having a brain tumor. Dont want to scare you but thought you should know

the problem started 5 months ago
also he's been going to the same groomer for over a yr
but 2 month ago
he became another dog like
and try to attk the groomer
the groomer had to call me to pick up him
and said we cant groom him anymore
u need to take him elsewhere ,
i had try many things
none seen to work
at yorkie meet up he's fine
he had np at all even when other yorkie bark
just with big dog
he will run up and wanna fight
and this is not the frist time
3 weeks ago
i had to hold off the other dog
so the pit wont eat my Neo lol
i had posted in other site , try many advices
at 1 point this guy with a pit told me
u need to ctrl ur dog cuz if he bark at my dog
he's asking for it if my dog bite both of u
its not his problem , that's when i got worry
and took him for walk around the block insist for awhile
just started to take him back to the park
and same thing happen as soon as he seen a big dog
he run right up to them and bark ,

:thumbup::thumbup: Please keep him away because if a big dog attacks this little fellow doesn't stand a chance.

I would never bring my Yorkies to a park where there are big dogs off the leash let a lone a German Shepard. Some dogs are just more barkers than others...he should be taught to obey you when you try to quite him but he will probably never not bark at all when he sees other dogs. I am always careful to be sure ALL OTHER dogs are on leashes when I am around with my furkids. It just doesn't make sense to me not to...one blink of the eye and your dog could be history. Besides those dog parks breed deceases that are easily picked up by dogs. I like to have my dogs socialized with dogs I "know" are safe and healthy.

I don't take my pup to the park often because of the other dogs. I always keep my pup on a leash and pay close ateention to other dogs in th epark. My dog will "hide" when a dog his size apporaches but bark at a larger dog. It makes me nervous. I arrange playdates with his yorkie cousin. I suggest leaving that park alone and let him play with safer pups.

You should not be taking your dog to a dog park. He is not showing stable temperment, and this is putting him, you, and others in jeapordy. Because this "aggressive" behavior, by your account, has just started suddenly, he needs to be fully screened by a vet.

Once the vet has ruled out medical conditions, I would have a dog behaviorist (NOT a dog trainer!) observe and evaluate him to see what is going on and what should and can be done to modify and correct the problem.

Dog parks should be off limits. His behavior can lead to a serious dog fight, in which he, you, and multiple other dogs and people can be severely injured and even killed. This can be very serious.

You need to take him in for an assessment by a behavior vet or behaviorist and not do any obedience until he is helped with his reactivity and fear concerns. He is not going to be able to learn when he is so fearful anything anyway that will stick or make things better. YOU have to train under his threshold and you have to understand what that is first.

That GSD needs to be reported for biting. It bite you not your dog and lacks self control and is a danger.. Little one just proved himself right as a dog bite you and cause you to get all upset at him and the other dog... big scary event and reinforced his fear and proves other dogs are to be kept away from or made to go away.... Poor dear boy, he doing all he can to keep safe and he is doing it the only way he can.
He needs a resoicalization class once a behaviour person says it is a go.

For now until you find someone keep him away from other dogs so he stops learning and being reinforced that Mom is scary around other dogs and other dogs make mom freak so I need to freak out first.
Last give him a hug he doing the best he can with what he has learned and just needs a break.

I also have a Yorkie who at age one deceided he did not like Big Dogs any longer! Who knows why. He was friendly with a huskie since a puppy and one day after his first birthday while walking him he went nuts seeing his friend
which starled me to death, broke away from me and actually attacked the husky! I almost fained on the spot! Was this my dog? Since then every big
dog he wanted a piece of! It's been three years and we are still working on this. He has gotten much better but I have to see the dog before he does then I can talk to him while we pass. He seems to fear them. Never been
attacked or scared in any way just deceided this on his own.
I have watched Ceaser and Victoria and did my best to follow their lead.
It actually works but you have to show them your not afraid and be their
leader. Calm and assertive Ceaser says.
As long as your dog has no underlying problems after being checked by
a vet you have to become knowledgable and use your common sence
on knowing what your dog can tolorate. Taking him unleasehed to a park
is not an option.


Going to the vet's or groomer ,when he did go, was never a problem
if a big dog was there. Only on our walks.

Good luck.

My toy poodle has huge aggression issues towards big dogs. She is all of four pounds and it started last year when we took her to an apple farm and while holding her ( I dont let her out of my arms in public places) a very large lab jumped up at her and snipped at her, I quickly pulled her away and we left. He didnt bite her thank god. Since then she has issues with big dogs, all of them, even ones she see's while we are in the car etc. She growls, shows her teeth and barks obsessivly untill the dog is out of site. I do not take her anywhere where there are big dogs if can help it. If we are at park (she is always on a leash)and see one coming we pick her up and go the other direction. She gets so stress out. :(

I agree with the others, your pup is too small to be running around off a leash in a dog park that has big dogs. Just the big dog playfully running around could cause harm to your dog and if your dog is aggressive even more problems could arise. Some one could get seriously hurt.

I also agree that you should have him checked out by a vet just to rule out the possibilty of health problems. Is he neutered? I know that some males will have agression issues when not fixed.

What you are dealing with is what is called leash aggresion or frustration.

Dogs do not walk at each other in a stright line if allowed. They bend out and around to the butt end.

We make our dogs walk in a stright line and tighten up the leash as we know they are going to go of like a rocket. As soon as the leash gets tight off goes the dog like a rocket.

At the groomers they are free to do as they please and are under the conrtol of usually some pretty dog wise and the dogs they know it.
