[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog (not a pit, a beagle) will absolutely attack an off leash dog that comes up to her, and she is not kidding around.  If she hurts your dog it is your fault, OP.  Your dog doesn’t deserve it, but you do.  You will be found at fault, too, because you are the one with the off leash dog.[/quote]

Your dog should not be out except on your fenced property.  It’s your fault if your dog is aggressive.[/quote]

It’s not.  My dog is fine unless someone has a dog that is out of their control (off leash and not recallable).  It has nothing to do with my dog.  Are you willing to risk your dog’s safety on its recall?  Because that is ALL ON YOU.  My dog is fine with leashed dogs.[/quote]

Your dog is aggressive and should not be around other dogs or people. [b] You and your dog are the problem. [/b] Yes, it has to do with you and your dog.  If your dog reacts to another dog off-leash you have a problem.  Maybe it should be put down as you cannot control it and are saying its dangerous.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

Let's see if you can understand this another way (though I suspect you're a troll and an idiot and probably hopeless):

If I go to the grocery store, I mind my own business. I'm not there to talk, I'm not there to interact. I'm there to get what I came for, mind my business and be about my day. If you come up to me and say hello, I'll probably ignore you. That may not be what you want, but it's not going to hurt you. If you have decent social skills, you'll move along and mind your business.

This is how leashed dogs behave. One may want to say hi, the other may not, the owners and leashes provide distance, it's all fine.

If I'm at the grocery store, minding my business and you run up into my space and start yelling (barking), I'm going to be deeply concerned and attempt to get away from you. If you chase me, or I can't get away, we're going to have a problem. And if you start touching me... good luck with how that ends for you.

This is how a leashed dog feels when your "friendly" dog is all up in its business. It's not violent, nor am I at the grocery store, minding my business. But if you start some stupid mess, well, you may or may not be safe doing that.

Reasonable human beings leave space. Responsible dog owners use leashes to maintain space.

This isn't complex.[/quote]
