agree.... small dogs should not be allowed to have nasty behaviours... just as one demands good behaviour for a big dog, small dogs should be demanded likewise..

I hate yappy dogs... and Iīve found out itīs not a small dog thing... yes they do have to make up for their size in temperament.. but in my case having big and small dog... Iīve learned Queeq is not a yapper... and it could well be just how she is but most learning takes place at home...

just yesterday I was taking a vid of her to show her "sounds" and barely got a yap out of her... I mean itīs a great thing... she just growls/barks while chasing a ball but even then not always.... so I do have a quiet wel behaved small dog... if I can have one anyone can....

what I also hate is people having untrained dogs that lunge ours and say "they are friendly".. well... I donīt doubt that but lunging a dog like that one can not know the others dog reaction... good for Ivy being such a good girl and to you doing a great job... but if in this case Ivy lunged back and bit the small dog it would have been your fault and your dog would be the aggresive one... so not fair... (I used this as an example only)
