I would never bring Galen around any dog that did that. That dog has issues from the attack that the woman should have addressed immediately. She needs a behaviorist. Maybe let her know that you are going to talk to one and maybe she should too. It might help her know that there is someone out there that can help her baby. . Good luck. I really wish we were closer. I think Galen and Wallee would just love to play with each other.

| I wouldn't risk it. Even if it means insulting your friend over it. I'd just tell her I'm not comfortable with her dog being around my dog. If her feelings get hurt so be it, better that then thousands in vet bills for a dog attack or worse..... |

Then add that as sad as it is that you can't help her anymore, she'll understand that that sweet baby of yours always comes first and foremost and you'd die to keep him safe and healthy and happy. But whatever happens, that baby of yours is your main responsibility and no power in earth would make you risk his well being again - so no more sessions that might hurt him ever. And you know she understands and can find better help with a real dog behaviorist that can actually help her dog get better. At some point, your voice will waver a bit because you are sincerely trying to keep your Wallee safe and keep a friendship with her and then you'll smile really big and bright, letting her know you fully expect she understands that Wallee means everything to you. If your defending your baby's right to stay safe from her aggressive dog doesn't touch her heart, maybe she's not quite the good neighbor you might have thought she was.

| Hmmmmm, I always tend to think like a MOM and react like a MOM....fur or skin...no different! There is no reason to be nasty or abrasive a simple conversation as a MOM to MOM. No matter how you put it to her she may get angry, some folks are, after all....crazy yorkie owners!!! Or she may even be relieved!

| Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I am going to just tell it to her nicely. I will let her know that I have consulted with many who also feel like I do about trying to expose poor Wallee to this behaviour. I have always been able to move Wallee away during walks before but last week was the first time she actually asked me if she could bring him over. I am going to tell her that I do not want Wallee hurt. I did try to explain to her that the first meeting with Wallee when he got bit that poor Wallee didn't deserve that either as he was only 12 weeks old. Her response was that Wallee got in her dogs face. To me that signifies that she is more concerned about her dog than poor Wallee so I will not let him near Wallee a third time. |

| Yeah for the great advice. I explained to her about her dogs fear aggression and how I did not want that to happen to Wallee and she was great about it....whew.. |

| I'm glad she took it well but when a person is very determined, others seem to get that it won't do any good to disagree or put up much of a fuss anyway. Good for you and good for her and good for both the dogs!!!
