[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind a less than 10 pound dog pulling the leash or jumping and I would never address that in training if it wasn't hurting either of us. Puppies always get a pass learning, they are usually chasing down leaves for fun while leashed so it looks like chaos. [/quote]
As long as your dog never jumps on anyone else, fine.  [/quote]

+1, leash pulling is not a big deal to me unless it's clear the person with the leash can't control the dog (if the dog is big, strong, or the person is just particularly lax). I would work to train that out of my dog because it makes walks stressful, but if someone else's dog does that and they can keep the dog away from me and my dog, [b]I just view it as their problem.

If your dog jumps on me, unless it's like a new puppy, I get annoyed. A dog should not be putting his paws on strangers on the street! That is totally unacceptable behavior, and when I see it in a dog over a year old, I know that owner is just bad. There is no excuse for that.[/quote]

PP here.  It is their problem, obviously - but do you stay in front of that dog and taunt and tease it? Because if so, when (not if) your little Muffy, Biscuit, Cupcake gets eaten in front of your very eyes - because you sat there and taunted a reactive dog - it won't end well for you. [/quote]

Another bad dog owner blaming everyone else for what is entirely your responsibility.  It’s your job to ensure your reactive dog is away from others. No one else’s. If you can’t do that, rehome the dog. [/quote]
Disagree. The dog owner could see that the dog was being corrected after pulling and reacting.  You don’t plant your dog right in front of another in a situation like that.  SHE was the dog owner acting poorly in that situation, not the dog owner actively correcting her dog.[/quote]

You don't antagonize other dogs/owners, and try to feign ignorance - it is obvious you are being a complete d*ck. [/quote]
