[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You shouldn’t have your dog around others then [/quote]

I can take my dog for a walk minding our own business.  If you leave us alone, she will leave you alone.  [/quote]

Your dog is dangerous and should be out in public.[/quote]

That is not how the law works.  My dog isn’t dangerous if your dog is in control.  Therefore if you obey the law there won’t be an issue.  [/quote]

Your dog is dangerous!  Read your post.  [b]You are blaming other dogs and people[/b] for your lack of training and your aggressive dog.[/quote]
If your dog is illegally offleash, as in the case of this thread, you are the only one to blame. Just like if it gets run over by a car. You are the one blaming other people for your poor behavior having consequences. [/quote]

Yes. It's astonishing how some of these posters seem to think they can just do whatever, consequence-free, even when they know it's against the law. [/quote]

Uh, but it’s not actually against the law. So what do you say now? Still ok for toot aggressive dog to attack everything around it? [/quote]

Where are these "aggressive dogs" that are just "attacking everything around it"?  :roll: Only in your extraordinarily vivid imagination, honey. They are figments of your paranoid mind.

My dog and I are minding our business. It is your job to keep your animal(s) away from us. Since it is highly unlikely you'll be able to do that without a leash, leash your dog. If it's an off-leash park, you're still required to keep your dog away from me. Don't unleash your dog until/unless you're certain your dog has bombproof focus and recall (which, given your posts, is probably not the case). Your dog running up into my space, putting paws on me or my dog, is a violation of the law basically everywhere in the U.S. I've ever been. So yes, it is against the law, and against all decency and common sense, to let your animal invade other people's personal space. [/quote]

You keep ranting about the LAW and other people controlling their dogs, but if you can’t control your dog out in the world to not attack someone coming into it’s ‘personal space’ then you’re the one breaking the law. And just showing yourself to be a selfish sociopath. [/quote]

So you are cool if a stranger comes up and hugs you?  Why do you think it is ok for dog to come up to my dog?  [/quote]

Because normal dog greetings are different than abnormal human greetings. There is a social code between dogs. There is a different social code between humans. The answer is to properly socialize dogs and humans so that nobody starts attacking one another just because they are nearby. Dogs greeting is not anything like a stranger hugging you. And if someone I meet innocently tries to hug me? I just back away. I don’t assault them.[/quote]

Hooray for you. If someone I don't know touches me, they might catch hands. I don't owe you safety while you're assaulting me.

The "social code for dogs" is superceded by responsible owners taking responsibility for their dogs. We train our dogs to stay out of other people's space, because the social code for humans is the priority. People are entitled to personal space, and that includes personal space away from your dog. If you can't guarantee that your dog will respect that limit on verbal commands alone, keep your dog leashed.[/quote]
