Leo has been so great with every dog he has ever met. Sometimes he doesn't realize his size and makes me nervous he will crush other dogs by stepping on them, but that is it for worries.
My problem is that most other dogs don't seem to like Leo. My brothers Golden is the most passive dog you have ever met, but he attacked Leo. This is not an isolated incident. Many other usually calm dogs seem to growl at Leo.
My best guess is that they are put off by his size. I can guarantee you it is nothing Leo is doing. He lets other dogs approach him, he stands there calm with his chin up, and sometimes will paw other dogs, but this never seems to set them off.
Has anyone else seen this Napoleon complex in other smaller dogs?
