[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd probably approach the neighbor and talk to him about your dog - not his.  Tell him the reason that you cross the street is because your dog is not dog friendly and you're trying to avoid confrontation.  I think if your neighbor understands that he might be more open to your concern about his kids walking his dog.

Also, if your dog is that poorly behaved around dogs that he will be aggressive - he needs to be walked with a muzzle.  That's irresponsible on your part.[/quote]

I don't think that the Op should have to explain to anyone that she and her dog do not want to meet THAT dog or any other strange dog. It is up to that neighbor to keep his dog under control.  And it is fine to say "I do NOT want to meet that dog."

It is not up to Op or the Op's dog to put up with this menacing, uncontrolled animal.  Sorry.  That isn't just dangerous for Op and her toddler but also dangerous for those children walking that dog.  If they simply drop the leash and the dog comes at Op's dog, Op could drop her dog's leash and there is no telling who they'll run up to.  Not safe.

The problem is that OP has a dog who is aggressive to other dogs, and she is placing the burden on the neighbor and others to keep their dogs away from her dog. It's OP's dog that is the problem.  Until she deals with her dog's problem, she shouldn't be talking to the neighbor about his dog. [/quote]

A loose dog will always have an advantage over a leashed dog.  Dogs know this and dogs will react like dogs.  It isn't up to the leashed dog to put up with your "friendly" dog's sh*t.

People who go out of there way to "test" this have a screw loose.[/quote]
