They really can kill your dog. The moment he sees someone or something that he thinks he has to play with, scoop him up and take him inside. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’ve seen exactly this situation go very bad. The vets I worked for went so far as to not treat dogs that the owners could not keep quiet, or give valium to keep dogs quiet. Don’t leave your yard at all, and carry him in and out if you have to, to keep him quiet.
