Giselle, yes he is extremely fearful of large dogs that he does not know. He shakes, tounge sticks out, he growls and sometimes "nips". It scares me for him. And when he does that, the other dog could turn and kill him.
He is only 2 pounds, and I dont think he will get any bigger. I always am very careful of him, with bigger dogs. I suffered a trauma years ago with a kitten of mine.... It got mauled by a larger dog that it grew up with. After that, and seeing how fast it happened, I am a very overprotective momma. It is wrong, and I know that, but those images are burnt into my brain, and all I can think of is that happening to Joey. I would lose my mind.
I did inquire about puppy classes, but since he is WAY past the age limit, the trainer would not let me join. But I guess I could look for others that are licensed in training... I know there are more than just one in my area.
UGH- Never knew a well behaved puppy was this stressful, wish they just came that way![]()
