Exactly. It's hilarious how some people on this thread have this attitude of "everyone else should bubble wrap the world for me so I can break the rules and not pay attention to my responsibilities." Overgrown children. |
You are clearly operating at a sub-adult intellectual level. It is your job to keep your dog away from other dogs. Not everyone else's job to make sure their dogs won't bite your dog when you fail to do your job and let it run up into other people/animal's space. Our dogs are perfectly safe if you're following the rules. If you're not willing to follow the rules, you may learn why they're necessary the hard way. Play at your own risk. |
This. And let's be real: the sort of people who believe in "unofficial dog runs" aren't the sort of owners with highly-trained dogs with excellent recall. |
Not a troll. Been crippled since I was a teen. Don't care if it makes you clutch your pearls. Do care if your unleashed dog runs up on me. That you're willing to try to control my choice of words but not your dog is pretty telling. |
+1 Very few responsible dog owners would use these. |
I know this is going to be hard for you to understand, but some of us like being responsible for our animals. Some animals need socializing work, training, etc. We don't assume our dogs are going to magically follow the human rules, and we're willing to supervise them until we're sure they're properly trained. And then there's the other camp: people who let their poorly-trained/unsocialized dogs run up to our leashed dogs, creating problems, and then blame those of us following the leash laws for the consequences of their actions. It's your fault if your unleashed dog gets in my leashed dogs space, causing a reaction. Without your cause, there'd be no effect. Do better. |
Np I totally disagree. The pp has ever right to walk their dog without fear of an unleashed dog running up to it. Would you like it if you were walking and a person ran up to you and got in your face? Dogs are animals and have the right to not like other dogs or people. As long as the pp is being responsible and keeping away than the dog shouldn't be put down! To the op: If you have a group of dogs you meet at a certain time for unleashed play I don't think there is a problem. It is a risk though. My dog is dog selective so I make sure not to walk during busy times. |
I agree with you, pp! |
No its not my job, my dog is friendly and sweet and not aggressive. The RULES are you keep your aggressive dog away from other dogs, muzzle them when out and train them. You are irresponsible and blaming others. You should not be a dog owner. |
If your dog is offleash in a non-offleash area, you are not following the rules. |
If your dog is the risk you are 100% responsible and need to handle things accordingly. If your dog cannot be around other dogs, that's on you. You need to muzzle your dog and protect other people. You are knowingly taking an aggressive dog out and putting people and animals at risk. |
There are unofficial dog parks and its ok to be off leash as the owners are right there. And, in a fenced yard, its fine too. |
Dude, I live in a place that has off leash areas and times. You’re arguing with the wrong person. |
Your dog is dangerous! Read your post. You are blaming other dogs and people for your lack of training and your aggressive dog. |
There are not. Keep your dog in your backyard if you want it to be offleash and there aren't any actual offleash parks around. |
