For those who think kicking a dog is wrong what else to you suggest when the dog has been trying to bite you for a minute or longer and the owner is completely ignoring it”s behaviour?
Pretty sure that scenario was already addressed as perfectly reasonable. Next.
Small friendly dogs can be picked up... if it happens again please pick up dog, run and video the chase
😃
Our Lab will ignore everyone 99% of the time. The 1% I apologise.
We walk her round the local reservoir so bump in to the same faces again and again. Before she was ‘done’ she got a lot of attention when in season. We always had her on the lead but others seemed happy to let there dogs run a considerable distance under no control to try and mate with ours. I found a quick belt with the ball chucker usually calmed them down and left the owners with no room to complain.
For some reason small dogs don’t seem to like our Lab. An aggressive yapping dog gets the same chucking stick response if they try to nip. If you let the other dog make the first move before subduing them the owners don’t seem to argue.
Many, many times I have been chased by dogs, had dogs come up to me – slobbering all over me, run out in front of me on my bike… never once has anyone apologised.
I hate to break this to you, but dogs can only talk in movies from the 1980’s. This may be the reason why apologies aren’t forthcoming 😉
any owner who can’t be bothered to work out what a dog needs to be happy
I have realised that what my dogs need to be happy is about two hours daily of chasing cats, followed by a long sit in a water buffalo wallowing hole. Then they ideally like to come back to the house, sit on the bed with the aircon on and eat ballpoint pens until they're violently sick.
Takes all sorts. 😀
Do small dogs like anyone?! Our dog is always getting yapped at by tiny little things. He ignores them most of the time. Unfortunately when the smaller ones are off the lead and run up to him, he acts aggressively when they jump up. Ours has a chronic ear condition which means he hates other dogs going near them. The reaction from small dog owners when I push their beloved pooch away and shout at them to keep their dog under control is jaw dropping.
It annoys me that many dog owners think it is their god given right to always have their dog off the lead no matter where they are.
lol @ don't talk to my dog like that. Does it speak ****ing English then....get tae ****
Before she was ‘done’ she got a lot of attention when in season.
You dont say!! Best to walk them only in areas where no off lead dogs would be.
Are these dogs married?
