| - Ok... So today I went in with my 4lb Yorkie to see the shop and see if there was anything that I had to have for my dog. Initially, the gentleman behind the counter was awesome. Friendly, courteous, engaging and interested in my business and my dog. We talked about Yorkies and how great they are. He apparently has one and we were talking with another patron about her Yorkie she had as well. It was going very well. I decided to get my dog a doggy cupcake and go on about my day.
At the same time I was checking out another guy walked in with a small dog off the leash. Immediately the guy helping me yelled out "theres a little puppy in here!" at which that instant, that dog rushed in and literally attacked my dog. My dog was bitten on her back and I had to hit the dog to stop it from chewing on mine.
As it turns out, the dog was the owners dog and the guy that walked in was a business partner/owner. My tiny dog was off leash, their dog was off leash. After their dog stopped biting mine one of the guys scooped it up and put it in the back behind a baby gate and I got a "Oh sorry about that, hes just soooo dominant!"
The problem I have is this... If you're aware that your dog is an asshole, why would you have it off the leash?! Especially in a freaking pet shop! And secondly, the best you got is "sorry hes so dominant?"
I was so turned off by this event that I wanted to pay and get the hell out of there. Oh yeah, that kinda pissed me off too... right after this guys little asshole dog just finished biting mine, and shes now trembling in my arms, he hands me a debit card slip to sign for $3.59.
Advice to this new shop... Dont let your little asshole/dominant dog run freely if hes going to attack other peoples little dogs that are smaller than him. People tend not to like it when their little dog gets attacked.
This business gets 2 stars only because its a cute place and right up until the dog fight and the owners lack of what I like to call "give-a-shit-ism" he was very friendly and seemed to care.
