As you pass a driveway, a dog comes charging down, running in from behind you, and grabs your dog by the Arse, the battle begins. How would you be pro active? In your leadership position, how would you have prevented that? I am not asking how you end the battle, how would you have prevented the attack?

This is a pretty universal reaction regardless of the type of dog you have. People get in a huff when you say your dog doesn't want to say hi if you dog is just standing there, if your dog is snarling, if your dog is hiding behind you legs. Lots of people just think dogs should love every. other. dog out there for some reason. And when you say no it's always your dog's fault even if their dog is barreling down barking with teeth barred.

I would be Pro-Active in Preventing that Attack by not exposing my dog to Such a Risk in the 1st place, Tammy... I actually have the Opposite Situation with my Akita -- She is very Dog-Aggro by nature, so I do NOT exercise her at Dog Parks or in Residential Neighborhoods or anywhere else we are Highly Likely to encounter any Loose/Uncontroled canines on an "unexpected" basis ... Instead, I have learned the Hard Way to Plan For the Worst-Case scenario in order to Avoid It My grown sons say that I'm still an Over-Protective Yiddishe Mama, and my answer to them is, "If I were NOT, you would have been DEAD already since before your Bar Mitzvah!" LOL.

I seriously get that, Lori, we live in San Francisco -- A dog-owner's life in The City and most of suburbia is full of difficult challenges ... Because our own yard is fairly small, I walk my beasties morning & night in a Nature Preserve open to controled dogs, where other people are afraid to go before dawn & after dusk (a self-imposed restriction that is far from ideal, but I choose to make this accommodation in order to Prevent Bite incidents which have a 99% chance of being Blamed On my own Akita no matter what). This is just what I do as an Individual -- Other folks may do differently ... I'm very sorry Kasey has been hurt 3 times by uncontroled dogs, and I sincerely hope you will be able to solve the problem in your own Personal way

In all honesty, that is because I have a shy dog and he does best in these places. What I've found is that all this means is people that DO go there, think it's an off leash heaven. Thinking you can prevent these situation is naive. There is always an exception to the rule and someday you will run into an off leash dog.
