  1. walks are supposed to be enjoyable. I have decided to no longer walk mine. Large backyard and daily out the fenced front yard with me there to supervise. I've rarely walked them anyway as I had access to the local slipping track for them to run. Warrior is too old for that now, Phoebe never cared and Rose is happy doing laps in my back yard. There are so many bogans and their dogs in my area nowadays, the thought of exposing my dogs to them makes me sick.

    In most public streets there is no rules/laws that state you must leash your dog (although there is a law you do have to carry a leash on you at all times..). I walk my golden retriever off leash most of the time, but he is only within 1 meter from me, has been trained to wait for approval from me to approach any dog on our path, as well as to cross the street. It just depends on how their dogs behave, if they are like my dog, who just minds his own business next to me, sniffs the ground and doesn't care about other dogs passing I see no problem with this. Why should I punish and limit my dog just because someone is i don't know what when they see an off leash dog. 

     

    And don't get me wrong, I've seen people who are walking by us go into some sort of panic mode or whatever because they are afraid of dogs I guess, but all they get from my dog and me is a side eye and a casual walk by them, can't be afraid of a dog that couldn't care less about you lol On the other hand, there are many more people who love him and alway stop to cuddle with him and let their dogs play around with him and what not

     

    Just socialise and train your doggos and you will all be more than fine!

    What an arrogant post.

  3. Annoys me no end. Only last week, on my local community page, it was told how a man had been attacked by a bull breed type, not far from me. My cameras picked up two staffy types running up and down my street, no person in sight. And again the most recent dogs in the pound, like the last 4 - 6 weeks were bull breed types. Not only annoys me but scares me.

    In my experience a sincere apology can often prevent a complaint being made to Council.

    yes except when they offer to pay vet bills and apologise is offered more then once and then a dangerous dog goes under the radar. If I hadn't had encouraged an owner to report, because I had prior knowledge of a serious dog attack and a near miss, then the dangerous dog would still be getting away with things. Problem is the owner of the attacked dog doesn't know if this is the first time or the 10th the dangerous dog has done this. I always encourage people to report
