Small Dog Terrors – Is Your Dog A Tiny Terror?

Small dog owners all over the world love and cherish their pets, but has your small dog become the terror of the seven seas? They may be small, but they can certainly cause a big headache if they develop small dog syndrome.

Spotting a dog that has small dog syndrome isn’t difficult. All you have to do is look for the overly aggressive, extremely yappy, and overly protective pooch.

The size of a small dog makes it better able to get away with bad behavior much more easily than a large dog. After one bark from a huge dog, the owner will probably want them to stop, but with a small dog they can easily keep yapping and yapping and be ignored.

Besides the size, their cuteness also helps them get away with poor canine behavior. Because they are cute, small, affectionate and easy to pick up and hold, they often will be picked up when they do something wrong. These small canines often are babied because their owners see them as babies.

Upon entering your house, a visitor may find an angry and loud little pooch yapping away uncontrollably. It is a much easier thing to dismiss than if a large dog was doing the barking.

How a dog acts on your lap can tell if they have small dog syndrome. Nipping or barking at anyone that gets close to you may be seen as protective behavior, but in reality it is the dog’s way of saying that they own this human.

Why do they act this way? Is it because of their size? A dog acts like this because it is allowed to act like that. If it was trained not to and not allowed to continue the bad behavior it would no longer be acting like a tiny terror.

With the right training and consistent disciplining, a small dog can be corrected from this nightmare behavior and become a happier, better behaved pet.
