[nagdu] Rules Regarding Pet Dogs was RE: New Jersey Laws regarding guide dogs being attacked

Okay, maybe I should have given more information. I know what makes dogs
growl, thank you very much. I was standing in the lobby with Lexia, minding
my own business as was Lexia, when the other person came in with the other
dog. I do not think that Lexia did anything to make the other dog growl
unless she made eye contact with it. Given that the person was not from my
building, I could not just go talk to the person. And, for the record, if
the dog was alone, that would also have been grounds for reporting it as it
is against the rules to leave a dog alone. And, no, it was not the first
time that the dog had been there. And, even if it had been, it would not
have been an excuse for the dog growling. If you have a pet dog that you
know gets excited to the point of growling at other dogs when you take it
new places, then you don't take it a place like work where the primary
activity is work, not dog behavior.

I don't know what the two were doing, but if your dog can to close and other
felt  a bit nervous  they could growl.  If that dog had a toy or food or
something he was chewing on, he might think he has to defend it. He maybe
was just telling your dog that , this is my space and my people, so don't
bother them. 
Just because a dog growls doesn't mean they are mean. 
If the dog doesn't go to work everyday like yours, this is very exciting and
they don't know quit where they fit in.  
Was the owner at the dest? If the dog was by himself he may have been
frightened of being alone, and then another dog he doesn't know comes by and
he gets nervous .  

Talk to the owner, and if the dogs will be crossing paths, maybe you two
should let the dogs meet each other.

Sofia,

Are there any rules about pet dogs? Where I work, people are allowed
to bring their pet dogs, but there are certain rules that they are supposed
to follow. I do not know how many people read the rules, and, of those, how
many follow them, but they can get in trouble for not following them. I had
an incident  last Friday where one of the pet dogs growled at Lexia. I
reported it, and it was supposedly resolved, but they did not say exactly
what was done.

Nicole and sweet Lexia who is wondering why the mean doggy growled at her

Hi!

Here is the New Jersey law: Dusty's Law. I believe it is one of the most
comprehensive in the country and NFB helped pass it.

I go to college in NJ and people from town love to walk their dogs off leash
around my campus and ignore them until they have already done something
wrong. Nothing beyond getting us distracted has happened yet, but honestly,
it’s a recipe for disaster if people not only walk their dogs off leash but
also stop paying attention to what they are doing.

Hi everyone! Tonight I was out on a walk with Quincy and for the third time
in a week someone's rot Wiler got loose. But this time the dog charged
Quincy and attacked him. The Dragos are knocked my mom over. We called the
police and they came out and spoke with us. They also spoke with the dogs
owners. We have 30 days to file a complaint. I will definitely do that. I
was wondering if New Jersey has any laws regarding service dogs being
attacked. The reason the dogs keep getting Moose is because their owner does
not fix their fence.  Instead, they just temporarily try to prevent the dogs
from escaping. The police told them they must get their fence fixed. So
hopefully they will. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way,
when she was not injured in anyway. I did call the school to let the
director know what has occurred. I am hoping that Quincy will not be
skittish around other dogs! I am sure the director will call me on Monday
morning. Thank you all for your support and help.
