richc12 84 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 One of my customers lives in 10 bed country house... Electric gates and five acres of gardens etc.... Which a lab x staff x rotty type runs free in... Now to say this dog would prob kill me through the gates is an understatement.... Shits me up big time... Came at me today having escaped from the garage.... I made it to my van just in time... Lol... Not laughing really... She says he's just bluffing and she likes the fact that he's doing his job( guarding).... he's fine when she's there... However I don't trust it at all.... Whether he's guarding or not I think its dangerous and liability and one day will ending attacking or biting someone.... Where would she stand under the new Dda if that dog attacked me or anyone else working at her property? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richc12 84 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Cheers bird... Thought as much.... Didn't want to miss quote the facts etc.... As she's a retired QC judge... Her words "he won't hurt you, he hasn't bite anyone yet". .... (Yet) I said.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 She's a customer and with that in mind i would simply ask her if you can have a propper word. Sit down together and tell her about your worries BUT only from your personal point of view! I'm sure if you explain she would be more than happy to help, as i'd bet she's happy with the work you do. This case proves a good point i always try to make, when folks bang on about big double 'ard guard dogs that they feel they 'need' to have to protect sommat. A dog like that loose, can be a bigger liability than it is ever a deterent...!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
