Your English is better than my Italian! Like Jo I have questions that spring to mind.Small dogs look cute so sometimes "get away" with more than bigger dogs! Have you been accustomed to dogs in the past, and how confident do you feel? Sometimes dogs intrepret our body language as trying to appease them, which makes them think they are in charge.
If this is the case with your dog it may be looking on walks as a reward for being in charge!The key thing here is identifying what your father and boyfriend do in relation to the dog which you don't. Doreen www.haveahappyhound.co.uk
