dangerous dogs

[Marius57]

Why should my dog not be allowed to walk or play on dog walking routes, she is well behaved and the reason I don't let her off is she is too friendly and it isn't right for her to just run up to other dogs. That is my responsibility. Before I got my dog spayed the amount of times she was sexually assaulted by male dogs off leads where owners were nowhere to be seen was ridiculous and I even got told she shouldn't be out lol lol

If you let your dog off and it has good recall and isn't aggressive then fine, not all dogs off leads are some are vicious and still let off. My point was though you don't know the personality of other dogs and therefore if you can't stop your dog approaching strangers then it should stay on a lead, that goes for me as my dog approaches everyone.

Because it isn't playing if it's on lead. My main issue is a couple of specific places really, and it's more of a personal annoyance. One of them is a field where we go to throw the ball and we have been doing that, and despite the fact there is a path that leads past the field and a path around the lake, we have been on it and someone with a leaded dog has then decided to walk around the field instead of the several other paths, meaning I have to put him back on lead. There's nothing in the field, and it's not massive, so it doesn't make sense to me especially when there are off lead dogs already using it.

Problem with dogs in season is that male dogs will pick it up from a good distance away, and regardless of how good recall is, they will go after it, so the owners may well be out of sight. I know when our pup gets a scent, his head goes down. He comes back to the whistle, but we haven't come across a dog in season yet. I know it's recommended to walk early and late when in season, but it's partly why we didn't get a female. Don't know what the answer to that is though unfortunately as they still deserve to be walked.

It is horrendous and it was a mistake on my part and a new owner mistake, I stopped taking her to places where there would be dogs until she's spayed, which she is now.

I just think everyone should be mindful of those around them and if that means using a lead, which is the law to be fair, then is it such a big deal if it keeps all parties safe?

Some dogs need muzzling more than a lead, my dog has been attacked by a dog that escaped his owners grasp literally pulled her over, thankfully I scooped my dog up in time and avoided her being mauled. If you have an aggressive dog(anyone) I think it should be muzzled.

Agreed.

I suspect these would be excellent forum rules too.

It's us or them.

Or the giraffes, I know hardly anyone who wants to take them on.

I know of one man brave enough. He strides these forums like a giraffe slugging colossus.

If I had a nasty psychotic killer of a dog that had been bred specifically to enhance its vicious murderous traits, that I had to walk around the park scaring all the other people and their dogs a couple of times a day while fondling it's poop in my pockets, I would call it "Tyson" or Zeus".

I, for one, would pay homage to that man for keeping us all safe from those long necked menaces.

Yeah it's a real bugbear of mine that. Mine is friendly and likes playing, but when he's on lead he gets really stressed by off lead dogs being able to run round him/move away etc when he's still tethered. Although he's very placid he's a rescued greyhound and he was blooded as a pup, if a smaller dog winds him up he's quite capable of killing it. I don't really see why I should have to be the one worrying about that when he's on a lead.

It is very frustrating people who don't understand there are 2 dogs or more in the equation, selfish people.

I have a staffy and but breeding them shud be outlawed. Shelters are full if them and usually because they didn't get on with other dogs.

Love him to bits but he does have the devil in him and I wouldn't leave him alone with a kid
