[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted about the aggressive dog walked on my street.  What you all are suggesting is that these/your aggressive dogs be moved to households in suburban or low density neighborhoods.

Transferring the location does not remove the problem.  It just creates a problem for others.[/quote]

We used to have a guy who would walk his growling/barking/snarling/menacing mutt around our block every single day.  That thing was pulling at his leash to get to us which was unnerving because it was not an overly excited "I want to meet you!!!!" type dog, it was a dog that was pissed that we were in the same vicinity.  Didn't matter that it was our own yard. Eventually, the dog settled down and I was stunned to see it saunter past our house on leash, not pulling, not growling, just ignoring us..

To this day I have no idea what that guy did to that dog to make it so much calmer.  But the transformation was truly incredible.[/quote]

It's been almost 1 year.  Same reactions to people and other dogs or animals.  Sometimes a delay in the aggression.  That dog is not muzzled.   After numerous negative experiences with that and other dogs I no longer believe in waiting for the first bite.  One of my dogs was attacked by a jack russell and I saved her twice.  The first time we had vet bills paid by it's owner.  Now my problems -plural- are larger and I would not be able to save my current dog or myself on our own property.

So I do believe aggressive dogs should not be rehomed.  One neighbor has a rehomed  dog that attacked me and injured another dog.

Are these dogs running around unleashed?  That sounds really scary.[/quote]
