[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh and I do with our dog in a section of a park nearby our home, it’s an informal dog run that all of our neighbors with dogs use. They love the socialization.

But reading the other threads about dog attacks makes me think we should stop.

We have a golden retriever who would never hurt a flea, but I don’t want someone to think because I had my dog off leash that she deserved to be attacked. [/quote]

OP the answer to your question is that yes, if your dog get attacked at this "informal" (meaning illegal) dog park while off leash, people will blame YOU for your dog being attacked. No one will blame your dog, who isn't making any of these [terrible] choices -- you are. And yes there will also be blame for the owner of the aggressive dog who attacks your dog. But it will be shared with you for doing an irresponsible and illegal thing and leaving your dog off leash.

[b]You are contributing to a potentially dangerous situation by letting your dog off leash, even if your dog is not aggressive. This is on you[/b].[/quote]

I think this says more about others than it does OP. If your dog being too close to another dog could result in a ‘blood bath’ then that’s probably not a dog you should own. Why is this so hard for people to admit? [/quote]

I'm confused, if my dog is dangerous to other dogs but I keep them on a leash away from other dogs and your off the leash dog approaches us and my dog attacks, you think it's my fault for owning a dog that will attack a dog that approaches it?[/quote]

Are you reading what you wrote?? You have a dangerous dog. You shouldn’t own that dog, period. People make mistakes, you will probably make a mistake. And if that mistake is likely to result in blood shed, then no YOU are wrong to have that dog. My neighbors havinese might be annoying to you, but she doesn’t deserve to die bc she got too close to your pit bull. [/quote]

Yes I know what I wrote.

I had a amazing, wonderful, well trained dog.

It was attacked while on a leash and needed 35 stitches and injured it's leg needing a cast.

When it healed it will attack any strange dogs that approach it. It will not attack dogs that it knew pre attack.

I only walk the dog in areas with nobody around and if I see someone coming, I walk 10 feet off the path and have her sit and I tell the other person, my dog is not safe with other dogs.

What you think I should do is put my dog down because some owner might let their dog off their leash and my dog might attack it

This has happened.... I have run home, I have grabbed by dog around the neck while the other dog owner catches them... but you think...put her down?[/quote]
