Thor was bitten by another dog! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm so relieved to hear that Thor wasn't afraid at his day care. It appears he will be fine. You are both so lucky.

I know I have to watch Calleigh very closely at any encounter.

Wow Mer, so glad that little Thor is ok, so scary

Awww poor Thor! Really sucks when your dog is just eager to make "friends" and the other dog has to tweak out like that. I'm glad the other dog was a yorkie and not something bigger, otherwise Thor could have ended up seriously hurt.

OMG!!
I am just seeing this.
Poor little Thor. I am so glad he wasn't hurt.
I would have also been beside myself. Don't know what I would have done if that happened to Abby.

Just seeing this. OMG, you must have been terrified. Eddie has done that to my other dogs before, and I know how frightening and fierce the skirmishes can be. I'm so glad Thor wasn't hurt and didn't seem traumatized. It probably meant a lot to him to know you and the other human had his back and broke it up quickly. I'm not sure what a behaviorist would say, but the last few times that happened with my pack, I screamed at the top of my lungs NOOOOOOO! It startled Eddie into stopping the attack.

Could you tell what set it off? Were there toys or treats involved? Was Thor being pushy? Sounds like the other dog has fear issues.

I would definitely be among the advocates of taking him back to the store, even on leash as long as the other dogs are on leash. In fact, if the owner was amenable, I'd try a leashed visit after hours. That's what I did when Eddie attacked the others. It's good to let the victim know that you can solve the problem, and it's good to let the aggressor know that it's not tolerated. Then again, since the aggressor is not your dog, that's not your problem to solve. I could certainly understand leaving well enough alone.
