I think that if someone says "your dog makes me uncomfortable" and they don't take the initiative to leave themselves, then you, as a responsible dog owner and a rational person, should remove your dog. I'm not saying "leave the park", I'm saying move on. Why be confrontational?

Should someone automatically have to move on because of a possible PERCEPTION that their big dog is a threat? No way. But a request to steer clear or a statement of discomfort FROM A PERSON is reason enough to move on.

Do I think the yorkie owner in this case was acting responsibly, no. Do I think the OP was obligated to move her dog "just because" or because of the yorkie's behaviour or because the yorkie owner said their dog was afraid (yet proceded to do nothing about it), no. But if the yorkie owner made a request or stated that THEY were personally not comforatable then yeah, move on.
