[nagdu] off leash dogs

[Cindy Ray]

People don't understand how much their dogs react to tone of voice. It is a
tendency to respond that way because you just want them to know. Kids
usually get that if they want to; dogs are reacting to the voice.

SO glad that it hasn't happened since.  Half the time, I am less concerned
with the fact that it happens than with the reaction of the owner.  Last
year, an offleash dog flew at me and my guide across a residential street;
the owner just said harmlessly, "Archie! Come back, Archie!" I then yelled
at her to COME GET HER DOG. She didn't, but he finally came back. Then she
said in this sickly sweet voice "You need to stay in the yard!" SERIOUSLY?

Re: [nagdu] off leash dogs  Most places have a leash law. I don't know if it
includes trailer parks though. I had a similar situation when I lived in a
mobile home. This dog ran out and started growling at my dog. The owner came
up and said, "I'm sorry. That won't happen again." It didn't either.

Stovall Subject: Re: [nagdu] offleash dogs Hi all, I had a similar situation
occur in my trailer park the other day. I was heading out for a walk with
Sadie, and just as I passed the curve heading to the front of our park, a
man and his dog were outside and the dog came toward us, and being a small
dog, I could still hear the claws clicking as she came our way. The man was
just standing there calling her name, as if she would come to him, but
obviously she was not trained very well to come when called, lol. He called
her several times, and finally began heading toward her to get her, but she
ran from him. So, instead of helping by getting the dog, he just turned to
me and said, "Sorry ma'am, she ran away from me. You'll just have to ignore
her, but she won't bite! She's just an idiot dog!" I said, "Well, actually
she's also a distraction." He appologized again, but that was not enough for
me, because halfway to the mailbox she was still following us, and I had to
turn, stomp my feet, and raise my voice just a little more than normal and
she finally went home I guess. If it happens again, I'm going to call the
park manager and make a very nice but firm complaint about it. Do you know
if there may be anything your city or local animal society may be able to do
for you? That's the only suggestion I have. Others may have more. Kerri Sent
