Little dogs, Terrier’s mainly, have been used on farms for years to keep rodents at bay. Rats and other rodents get into farms feeds, pee, poop and eat it, costing farmers money. Terriers help save them money.
Terriers are genetically programmed to go after rodents and small vermin, catch it and kill it. They may be small, but they’re meant to be fearless and sufficient killers, they’re not designed to be handbag dogs.
Many times when I get called to a small dog household, I’m called because that small dog is displaying aggression towards people, it’s become possessive of their owner and/or it’s a fearful mess, all things that these dogs are not meant to be.
Small dogs are often treated differently to big dogs. When a big dog jumps up or pulls on the lead or sits on our lap, we do something to stop it.
Why ??? B cause it’s not practical and it’s uncomfortable, but with a small dog we actually accommodate and reward such behaviours as it does not seem like a big deal. We stop treating them like a normal dog. We even go as far as to start picking them up, dressing them up, putting them in handbags, treating them like out and out humans. This creates confusion in the dog and confusion can lead to behaviour problems because the dog does not know who they’re anymore and are not respected for the animal they’re.
Small dogs are capable of doing most things big dogs can do, although physically they may not be able to see of a group of Home invaders, they can make enough noise to deter them. Although they may not be able to keep predators away from livestock, they can keep rodents and small vermin at bay for you. They can detect drugs, bombs, cancer, blood sugars levels dropping, they can be PAT dogs, just like a big dog can.
Small dogs are not handbag dogs, they’re not your babies, they’re dogs and need to be treated and respected as such.
This is what your FURBABY is capable of, instinctively, remember that, next time you think he is cute and you want to pick him and squish him or dress him up.
Small dogs rock.
