Ill tempered anti-social dog?


AnswerFiend asked:


One of my dogs, Ruby, a Yorkshire Terrier (5 lbs) is very loving to my wife and I. But when outside upon meeting another dog she goes beserk. When other people try to pet her she is aloof and sometimes barks at men and small children.

She'll also try to break free and chase down squirrels or rabbits. She's at home with another Yorkie, and they get along well. The play fight and run around the other Yorkie is more dominant.

When we got her she was supposed to be six months old but the Vet said she was more like four months.

What's going on here? Different techniques and attempts to correct her behavior have not worked. We pick her up when ever we come upon another dog but she'll still bark like crazy and try to escape.
