Stopping Dogs Attacking Yours

[neems 2,406]

Aside from not walking where or when they walk,how do you do it?

 

I had police at the door a few hours ago because about 2 months ago a lab attacked my lurcher leaving a graze were the fur still hasn't grown back.

 

I tried to grab the dog by the scruff to get it off and it mouthed my arm so I kicked and apparently injured it

 

They've also put a complaint in for threatening behaviour and apparently there are witnesses,all I actually said was 'keep your dog on a lead if you can't control it'.

 

So the moral of the story is let dickheads fat mutts maul your well looked after and well trained dogs or you'll probably end up in court.

If there locked on pick their back legs up and push up until they let go.

till its hanging upside down?

 

all very well if you're confident it won't turn around and bite you.

I just belt the fekers with the stick i carry and sod the coseqences.

No most dogs will let go as soon as their feet come off the ground. If you hold on the dog can't get round to bite you anyway. Had to do it a few times with the staff when I've had trouble with other idiots.

I leave them to it my dog can look after hisself

Id rather end up in court than let my dog take a hiding from an aggressive out of control dog.

I'm 47, up until 5 years ago I lived inner city. I walked/exercised my dogs daily, usually more than once but I looked for the quiet specs and the quiet times. Other than that, feck all you can do....

I've had this shite happen a few times now over the last 12 months. Friday morning was the last time when 2 Dalmatians off the lead went for my staff, I just leave him to it now. If the other dog starts the bother I honestly can't see how you could get flak for it. I'm not being macho or anything but the dalmations owners response was "sorry, my dogs deserved that!" Ffs

I would be devastated if one of my dogs was attacked for no reason and started showing aggressive behaviour, or was nervous around other dogs because of it.

 

I remember taking my mums puppy Doberman out when I was a kid and a german shepherd charged at her while I had her on a lead, I remember kicking it a few times and the bloke who owned it beating it with one of them retractable leads before it got the message, he said sorry and that he took it out early to avoid such incidence, so he knew what it was like..............but it was still off the lead and un muzzled.

She was always nervous of other similar dogs after that...And so was I

 

Also if I had a dog which attacked other dogs for no reason I would have it pts, no life for a dog to be kept on a lead and muzzled 24/7.

 

I'm no expert but I think things like this are why it is important to socialise puppies with other well behaved, balanced animals as soon as they have been vaccinated. I always ask the owner if their dogs are "ok" before I take my pup to meet them. Introducing pups to over exited or aggressive dogs will knock the confidence right out of it..

I didn't realise a dog could be scared of a "type", the first time I heard it about my dog was off a collie owner and I was quite offended. But I've heard about it being a real thing a few times since. f**k there are some arseholes around though, I dread the summer when the dog park is busy as that's when the trouble starts

I've got a dog agressive dog, it just means he stays on the lead when he's outside and I make a point of staying well clear of other dogs. Luckily other owners tend to do the same if they see me in the distance.

Here here. I was taught this by a guy that keeps Pits.

 

Because we have Whippets and an Italian Greyhound, I don't worry too much that they'll get caught. All the really fast dogs around our way, greyhounds and lurchers, seem to be really good. The only problem can be when they get all submissive and just cower, instead of run away. But I'm always aware that if a dog tags one of ours, a finger up the wrong-un is the way to go. Minging, but at least we won't have a dead dog....providing I get there soon enough.
