Whilst walking Jack (on lead) on sunday a very bouncy boxer came flying up to Jack. Wasn't being nasty at all, but Jack does not like dogs flying at him like that! He snapped as the dog went flying over him, i kept Jack under control so all was fine. But Jack being a SBT would no doubt have got the blame if something had happened. The people could see us coming, and could see Jack was on lead, so WHY did they not control their dog?! They said sorry, but that's not really good enough is it? They should have control of their dog not just let it fly around like crazy and then apologise!!! On the opposite end there are the people who see Jack is on the lead and telling their dogs to come to them, or the sweet calm dogs (which Jack is happy to have a sniff with) whose owners call them back because they say it's not fair on Jack when he's on the lead. These people are responsible and realise that if people have their dog on the lead it's for a reason! I've lost count of how many little shitty terriers have come running up to Jack snapping at him and the owners do sod all!!! Nearly had to get hold of the collar of one the other day, i moved back with Jack and it followed. I've had to pick Jack up before cos a JRT was snapping at his legs

Sorry, rant over

I hate seeing untrained dogs off their leads, Just the other week my dog, Sam was left petrified by a german shepherd trying to attack him, it was on an enclosed public field where I usually feel safe letting him off his lead, he's only 8 months old and it's a good place for him to learn his recall and run off his boundless energy. I politely told the man that perhaps letting his dog off the lead where other dogs are may not be the best idea to which his reply was, for me to f*** off and that his dog would savage my dog if he let him.

Now I'm a step back with Sam who has been left unsure around other dogs but is slowly getting his confidence back and wondering how some people come to own dogs in the first place!.

Another one for the dogs home then, when it's found to be poorly trained and "unhandleable"....
They are the In thing at the mo. So sad.

Sounds a bit of a charmer. You wonder what goes through peoples heads.

Puppy was paying no attention whatsoever to the people. If that's at a few months old, imagine what it'll be like as a stroppy teen? There's a reason Sibes aren't let off leads.

*sigh*

Well she said it was a 'flexi-lead' which is a retractable one, right? Looking at the lead (as the puppy dragged it past me) if I didn't know better I would say that the owner has cut the lead off the retractable bit and then just lets the puppy run around and stamps on the lead or something when it goes past to 'catch' it.
