I think you need to learn more on small dogs before you do training. They're different than larger dogs. They already act aggressive towards bigger dogs because it's for survival. They HAVE to be that way. You can't train that instinct out of them. It's like training a cat not to scratch furniture.. they'll do it until you get them a scratching post, it's instinct.

That's not true...
My little dogs are part of my pack and fit in with my big dogs.

I understand some people are all one breed and I guess that's fine..
Just don't forget about all the others and crosses that have great potential to be amazing dogs too...

Mixes are great dogs!

Jolene will bark at the next door neighbors mastiff and act tough... He could swallow her whole, but she intimidates him. Her bark is fierce.

Little dogs have a soft spot in my heart. I think a lot of the purse dogs are meant for that though... They're like bantam chickens, they're just for show. Silkies are the same way.

One of my friends puts her dog in a basket on her bike and she has a backpack for it when she goes roller skating. Its a teacup Pomeranian. It has no purpose in life besides being cute

Exactly! I don’t think little dogs are inherently aggressive anymore than pit bulls supposedly are.

I have worked with dogs pretty much all of my life and it is true about smaller dogs they have to make themselves look bigger towards bigger dogs...

That's your pack, they know your pack. See if a larger dog that they do not know comes on your property and see what they do...

I know they’re more feisty than a lot of dogs and have to have some attitude but I don’t think any dog, even little dogs, are necessarily inherently aggressive... although yours don’t sound aggressive and wasn’t saying they were. But a lot of people treat dogs like babies

okay nobody is listening to what I am saying I'm not saying that they're aggressive towards people or what not. They have to make themselves look bigger towards bigger dogs That's why little dogs bark a lot. That's why they have little dogs and big dogs usually separated at the dog parks because little dogs can intimidate or make a big dog see red because of their attitude.

I'll just stop talking because everything that I'm saying people are trying to make it out like I'm singing little dogs are aggressive. What I'm saying is not even getting through

I didn’t say they were aggressive towards people but you yourself did use the word aggressive.. you said here they have to act aggressive... maybe you didn’t mean aggression but did say it. Personally I think there is a difference between true aggression and a feisty attitude. I do get what you are saying, that they are feisty and have to stand up for themselves and all of that, and agree, but that’s not aggression I don’t think. They’re not seeking out dogs to attack or whatever.
