Laurie-
I don't have much advice for you--Kito is the same way. I don't worry about him at all with bigger dogs, but he hates smaller dogs. The first time he met my mother in laws pom puppy, he went after him like he was food. They haven't seen each other since. He has gotten used to her other pom, but he doesn't really like him. He is fine with Abbey, and my parent's dog, Max, who is bigger than him, but around smaller dogs I do not trust him one bit. There is a lhasa that lives downstairs from us, and he hates her too, but the huge lab that lives behind us, he wants to play with.
I would also love for him to be a lot nicer, and more predictable, but I'm not sure what to do. I will be starting training soon, after we move into our house and that is all settled, but for now he is just on the leash all the time, and has to be that way. (On the leash outside that is, not in the house).
I hope someone has some advice for you, because I could use it too!! I'm not sure if he's really being agressive or not either, because I won't let him close enough to the smaller dogs.
Gotta love those Shibas
Emily, Kito, Abbey, Riley, and Jada
