the person i'm sitting for did keep my dog for me several years ago, when he was only about 4. i asked her if he was this bad and she did say no. so it's a different temperament. chase as a puppy indeed was never this hyper. we dog sat a jack russell once but she was female and older and they got along fine.
i've tried the ball - not interested. put him in his carrier and just carried him around where i was - lots of crying but at least he would stop temporarily when i told him to.
BUT if the dogs are in any kind of proximity, the yorkie will not stop going after him. and it sure seems from my angle that all he wants to do is hump him, which goes over like a lead balloon with my dog. then they're both making lots of noise.
i'm here in my room with my dog, he's out there with my son and grandson. i have to give warning before i open the door or, let them interact, which was my plan. i was thinking after they had some time to get used to each other things would calm down. it's been 2 nights so far and 2 to go.
they may not get to be friends, but we'll get through. thank you again for helping!
