[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to an off-leash dog park if you want to let your dog off leash when you're not on your own property.  I adore dogs, have two big dogs--don't let them off leash.  Actually, it's also for the dogs' sake.  It sounds like you may not have had an issue with a dog trying to run off, but it takes just once and does happen all the time, including for the first time.[/quote]

[quote]OK, I am a dog owner who obeys the leash laws and pooper scooper laws.  However, I do have a bone to pick here.  One of my neighbors is so afraid of dogs, and has caused her children to be so scared, that she doesn't even let the kids play outside if my dog is out.  We do not have a fence but we do secure him with a lead - which he absolutely loves - hanging out in the sun.  The dog parks are rampent with GIARDIA.  If you do not know what that is look it up - you can get it to!  My frisky labrador who is the sweetest dog ever needs exercise - more than he can get from a long walk.  He needs to swim and run.  Because of this uptight neighbor with a fear of dogs I am forced to take my dog on long weekend drives to areas, not rampent with GIARDIA, so that he can swim and run.  I can't even play fetch with my dog in my own back yard!  Until this neighbor moved in, about a two years ago, our neighborhood was great.  All of the neighbors could allow their dogs to run and play fetch.  The children played and rode their bike, etc...  This one neighbor has upset the entire comradery of our wonderful neighborhood and in my opinion needs to move somewhere else.   I am sorry but people who are so afraid of dogs need to live away from family, social neighborhoods.  Where there are families there will be family dogs.  Go seclude yourself in an area where no people live.  Dogs are great for kids to learn responsibility, careing, empathy and also for protection from psycho neighbors.  [/quote]

Dude.  Build a fence.  Problem solved.

It is not about the fence - it is about the CRAZY neighbor who has ruined the neighborhood - Move On to a dog free area. Nut cases.

No, it's about dog owners not being responsible.  There are leash laws because no matter how well trained your pet is, it is still an animal that can be unpredictable.  As for having your dog on your property on a lead, that's fine.  If she doesn't want to let her children out under those conditions, that's her problem.  But as long as your pet is restrained (which it sounds like it is), you are following the rules.  However, if your pet needs more exercise, you need to build a fence so that your pet can run free in your property and there is no danger that your pet will roam outside of your property.  If you can't or won't do that, then you either need to walk or drive your pet someplace safe for it to run and swim (and without whining).  But having pets in a family neighborhood means being responsible.  And not blaming others for your situation.  This neighbor doesn't need to move to a dog free area.  You just need to build that fence.  If you won't do that, you have no business owning a dog...grow up.[/quote]

[/list]It is more than my dog it is the entire cul-de-sac's social enviornment.  Since they moved in there is no hanging out with all of the families even without the dogs.  I am sorry but these neighbors have problems being neighbors and need to move!  It is really not about the fence or their unrealistic fear of dogs.  The are socially inept and are teaching their children the same.  IMO - this should be classified as child abuse.[/quote]

Whatever, troll  :roll: [/quote]
[list}  You have got to be kidding me.  F__K You!  Insane troll monger.[/quote]
