Getting back to the fear thing, I have a dog that is maybe 5 kg's, if someone shows fear around him, he gets very aggressive, while I do my best to restrain him, there have been times when he has gotten away from me. Kinda funny watching him chase another dog 10x his size and steal his bone, or even a person that will sit across the room from him because of their fear (of course I send him out of the room if a person has a fear of dogs). Fear can have unintended consequences, and we are not a small Yorkie. And there is fear aggression where I am going to bite you, before you bite me.....don't bite off more than you can chew.
People who can't control their dogs kill me. I always wear work boots for this specific reason. Thanks to some stupid old lady up in Raleigh I have a juvenille record for Animal Abuse. She had this stupid Doberman Pincher that was barking and snapping at everyone. I was having a particularly bad day to begin with but anyway long story short the stupid dog snipped my leg and I broke its jaw. I still have a scar on my calf but I gaurantee that dog never bit another person.
