Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's happening all the time just lately. Idiots with dogs they can't (or choose not to) control. I would advise anyone to carry a decent walking stick, a good clout would deter most dogs. Granted there will be some it doesn't deter, then you would have to use the spike on the end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 There's a bloke that goes on one of our local parks, who has his dog off, and let's it chase others around - seems to think it's funny. His dog was chasing mine and he said "Hes only playing - he won't be do any harm " I just pointed out that, as mine is 3/4 Whippet, there was no chance of his fat pig of a mongrel catching him......

Mister Gain 1,764 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Irresponsible dog owners are an absolute liability. I c*nted my neighbour off a few weeks back, he has a doberman and the signs were evident within the first 4 months that it had an over aggressive streak, which I pointed out to him. He said it was just puppy play, but it wasn't IMO. Now it is about 22 months and it has no recall, it has run out of the park and caused 2 cars to brake heavily to avoid killing it, he lets it run out of his sight so has no idea if there are other dogs or children about. It aggressively attacked my dog twice in 3 weeks when out of his sight, which is why I lost my rag with him. My dog isn't aggressive at all and did not retaliate, and I don't want it to become aggressive because of dog attacks due to irresponsible owners. I have considered fashioning a 'break stick' to carry with me, but fear that would give out the wrong message, what with mine being a staffy, and also a walking stick for clumping the fcuker. I am too old to start fighting with other arseholes dogs 'cos they can't be bothered to give them a little training and apply some common sense, so now avoid that particular park. Trouble is that whatever you carry for the defence of yourself or your dog can be classed as an offensive weapon. I've already had to kick 2 dogs which attacked and got the old "he's never done that before". How many times do they use that phrase I wonder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I had a big malamute slip it's collar and come tearing over to fire into my bulldog pup the other week, could have ended badly but fair play to the woman who owned it she came running over and got stuck straight in getting control of her dog even though she had two others still on lead! She was full of apologies and promised to get it a tighter collar so it won't happen again in future, exactly how it should be after all accidents can happen it's about how the owner reacts to those accidents. She put some of these "well 'ard" staffy owners that are too scared to get stuck in and control their dogs to shame 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe with the spikes I posted above they could be, but they are walking spikes so I'm not sure. "Offensive weapon - made, intended or adapted to cause injury."

albert64 1,882 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I take my daughter with me when I'm walking the dogs, cos she takes her chuhuahua with me, I always have a big flat headed screw driver in my pocket as I've usually just finished work, and always grab the ferreting bar, she used to ask dad why do you always walk with the piece of metal, I used to say it just makes walking easier, until one day when a big hairy arsed German shepherd tried to kill her chuhuahua, unfortunately she had to witness a dog getting the beating of its life and a f***ing idiotic woman screaming I'm killing her dog, so now she knows what the bars for I just hope she's never with me when the screw driver has to be used, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
