[quote=Anonymous][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]
It isn't unprovoked if someone touches or tries to touch the dog. The dog feels trapped and as if it is being attacked. Don't do that
[/quote]

Listen to yourself. You just said that if a person--presumably including a child?--tries to touch your dog and the dog bites them, the person is to blame because they "provoked" the dog. NO. It is YOUR FAULT because you brought a dog that is not safe around people, around people and not warn the people or prevent the dog from biting. The legal system definitely does not agree that when a dog bites a person the person is to blame, and you are deluding yourself if you think this. [/quote]
Listen to yourself.  It doesn't matter if you think you should be allowed to manhandle a leashed dog which you have not been invited to interact with. Keep it up and you will eventually get bitten. Act like you have some sense. [/quote]
