[quote=Anonymous][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

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]

I do not touch dogs without asking, and am working on training my children not to do so either, but sometimes they do anyway. I guarantee you that if your dog bit my child, I would ensure that you paid for every cent of medical care and that your dog was put down. If you think that's not how it works you are very much mistaken. So if you love your dog so much you should train it, keep it muzzled, or keep it away from people. [/quote]
