[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My old apartment building allowed dogs but they had to be leashed at all times in common areas like hallways, etc. There was a fairly long walk from the lobby to the elevators and a few entitled owners used to let their dogs run off leash to the elevator. One would let her dog jump up on people. The first time the dog jumped up on me, I told the owner I was allergic and had back problems and please not to do it again and to please leash her. She did not. The second time a week or so later I saw the dog running at me, I asked her to restrain her dog. She didn't, dog leaped up on me, and I told owner it hurt for me to have the dog jump on me. She said, "I'm sure," sarcastically and rolled her eyes. I complained to management.[/quote]

I'm glad you complained to management. I also had an apartment neighbor whose dog used to jump up one every time she was near me. It was a small condo building and there was no management, so no one to complain to. I just started avoiding them the best I could. Every time it happened, the owner would laugh and say "oh she's happy to see you!" Like it was a good thing. Once I was coming in with several bags of groceries and the dog jumped up on me and it was all I could do not to fall over. No apology, no nothing.

These people are so oblivious.[/quote]

That's about all you can do as a woman since these owners will confront you if you push the dog away. I'm male and have had to kick dogs that charged at me or tried to jump on me on trails or sidewalks. The owners almost always start wailing like you attacked their child. No, keep your dangerous animals under control so they didn't maim or kill actual humans.[/quote]
