| Tera - doesn't know she is a small dog! Tera is almost 6 months old, and absolutely loves dogs and people. She is taking puppy classes, and is so excited to see other dogs that she almost can't stand it. It doesn't matter the size of the dog. Sometimes I wish she had a healthy fear of dogs bigger than her! Below is a short video of her at puppy classes playing with a much larger dog. Should I discourage her from playing with much larger dogs?

| Tera is adorable and I love this video! She's looks so playful and the other dog does seem to be very gentle. Max has played with bigger dogs at the dog park and even though they are gentle, they don't realize that they are playing a lot rougher due to their size.

| She is so cute! What a friendly little pup. Nah, I wouldn't discourage it. I think caution should always come into play when playing with any other dog but I think it's GREAT socialization for them, both big and small dog!

| This reminds me of Sparky at the dog park on Sunday. There is a pitbull puppy there that loves to play with him. She actually stalks Sparky through out the dog park. As long as she plays nice, I let him play with her. The minute I see that there is agression, then I will definitely take my dog out of there.

| My Ginny Joy (3.5 lbs) has no fear and it worries me too. I know first hand how an excited big dog can accidently injure a small dog. |

| Sooooo cute, but you know, maybe she doesn't know she is dog? After all kids are just kids playing, having fun, yu just have to watch and make sure they don't get carried away. Not an easy thing to do when they are having so much fun.

| Thanks to all for your responses! I am curious about what happened to Ginny Joy. Would you share? My Tera was just 3# last time I weighed her a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking she, too, will probably be around 3.5#. Thanks again!

| such a cute video! reminds me of my Gizmo when we went to puppy classes at petco. Question for you- do you use a harness on her? might be a good idea since our babies tracheas are so delicate! Just a thought!!! |

| Yes, I do use a harness. That was beginning of class & realized we didn't have harness. Sent hubby to car to get it to swap it out. I worry about that too!
