[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what about a muzzle?  People tend to stay away from a dog with a muzzle.

That way even if some dumb ass does still approach,  your dog can't bite.

Our dog won't wear one, she panics.  But is it worth a try?[/quote]
We’re doing clicker training (click and treat whenever she sees a person) so not possible.[/quote]

your dog should not be in public[/quote]
Are you suggesting that all dogs that do not love people should be put down rather than trying to rehabilitate them?[/quote]

Dogs that will bite strangers essentially unprovoked should be put down, or kept out of public. Biting a child that tries to pet a dog in a public place counts for unprovoked. [/quote]

I have children and a dog and anyone putting a hand in any of their faces is provocative and incredibly rude.  As you learned in kindergarten, keep your hands to yourself.[/quote]

And if there were no humans who hadn't been to kindergarten yet, that might be a reasonable position.

But since such humans do exist, the responsible thing is not to take a dog like OP's and the idiot above's dog into places where humans get get in their space without warning.  [/quote]
