Well, today it happened. Our Yorkshire terrieorist, Herbie, BIT Jan (neighbor) when she walked in to the house, just like she does everyday. She's certainly no stranger that one need to scare away! This little bratty dog managed to bite her up on the thigh, leaving a big blue bruise. Was that as a thanks for taking us out last night on my b-day? BAD DOG!
Terriers have a nasty personality. No wonder they have named Mr. Bush's nemesis, terrorist, after them. Is there a dog that can be as "yappy" as a terrier? Or as aggressive?
A dog that weighs hardly 10 lbs should just accept their position in the pecking order (Phoebe, the cats, and then Herbie) be happy with the food and housing provided. Not make a mess (peeing inside, barking, being overly "tense", etc, etc) and being generally just a nuisance!
An example. In the morning when about to be let out for "doing duty" (what's not already been done overnight in the kitchen...) he can go nuts. I manage to have him be quiet and sit down - orderly - before basement door opens up to the backyard. Wife just lets him "run out", barking his lungs off, waking both me and neighbors in the process.
The BIG (real...) dog, Phoebe, she just sits nicely, waiting for the "command" to let her out. She's happy with that and knows she will get out. No need to get railed up over that. Door will not open any faster just because one is barking - just the opposite!
But, if anyone tries to approach the house, or worse, the front door, unannounced, Phoebe will show who reqally onws this house. No strangers are passing by her! GOOD DOG!
It appears someone is playing favorites.....
