    There are several petite ladies with large German Shepard dogs who show up at the trails here. We never asked but I think they are some sort of club. Although my Dachshund speaks German, we don’t get too close.

    Being on a leash is great – but it isn’t enough if your dog is vicious (like this one) and/or you can’t control or handle your dog while on the leash.

    Sure, the small dog should be on a leash (leash laws in effect in our town). BUT the laws also require that you have your leashed dog under control at all times.

    Ours was on a leash when a little holy terror came zooming out of his yard in a beeline straight for our dog. Our only option was to scoop ours up. I still got bitten.

    Some people think they can get away with murder, and not leashing their dog.They would be responsible for any damage, though!

    Yep, encounter people with mean dogs on the trail and they tell me to keep my dog away, leashed or not!

    You know, your dog shouldn’t be trying to eat mine.

    Terrorized by them as a child, go ahead. Ask me why, to this day I have a strong dislike for dogs.

    No, but it’s true. A leashed dog feels threatened by an unleashed dog in proximity. A perfectly docile dog will act out in that circumstance. @harry bliss – it’s something to know.

    It’s amazing how many people with unleashed dogs can’t control them. Somehow, they think that calling the dog’s name 50 times means the dog behaves. My guess is these folks are the least likely to pick up dog poop too. I have a friend with a dog that sometimes reacts poorly to other dogs. His dog is leashed. But that doesn’t help when yours is not and you scream “(S)he’s friendly!” Dogs are also less likely to get ticks or snakebites when leashed and on a trail. Also, it’s not cute when your dog chases wildlife. I’d like to let a komodo dragon loose in your pet’s home and we’ll see how cute you think that it. “Oh, look! He’s stalking Rex! How adorable!”

    Most of the Judge Judy cases concern unleashed dogs and dogs and people getting injured.

    Is yours a dog? It looks more like a wolf (weirwolf?).

    The usual trouble with dogs that are out of control is owners who haven’t been trained.

    Yes, just in case he is sniffing the grass or trailing and glancing amid general conditions.

    I have a neighbor who has a large, but friendly dog who generally stays near her so she skips the required leash. I had my little dog out on a leash recently and the dogs said hello after he peed on my bushes almost against my house in front. I asked the owner very nicely to please not let her dog in my small, landscaped area as it attracts other dogs, including mine, to the spot and I have spent much time training my dog to stay out of that area. While we were talking, I watched her dog pee all over another bush. In my yard. Almost touching my house, in the landscaped area. I know now why my bushes are dying.

    had exactly the opposite happen while out with a buddy, walking his docile dalmatian (on leash). one of his neighbors was again letting her dobermans run wild as she walked them and she could barely restrain them from tearing into my buddy’s pooch. my pal pointed out between gritted teeth that she was breaking the law. again…

    This and other’s comments strike a nerve with me, as I recently confronted a man on a nearby state walking trail that runs behind my house, a converted railroad track and under DNR jurisdiction, who I believe is a new neighbor, and has been allowing his large boisterous dog to run free…and chase whatever it comes across. He walks as far as an eighth of a mile behind with leash in hand while his dogs terrorizes the local squirrels, chipmunks, etc. Yeah, I know there will be those who will say “whatever, they’re rodents”, but it’s still not right. And, there is definitely a leash law, which pretty much everyone else adheres to. When I told him there was a leash law, he responded with a smirky, “Oh, is there?” I said yes, and asked if he had checked out the regulations on the trail’s website, to which he responded he had and hadn’t seen that. I ended the conversation at that point, realizing he couldn’t care less. I think most DNR areas have leash laws, as do entire states, that dogs must be leashed in public areas. DNR only allows hunting dogs to run free in hunting-designated areas and only during hunting seasons, as far as I know.

    I still have some rant left, lol,…and yeah, I can’t believe how many people allow their dogs to drag them around, and then yank on the leash in feeble and wrong-minded attempts to somehow train or teach their dog that their behavior is wrong. I’d love to strap a collar around their (the people’s) necks and yank on it a few times, lol. People…TRAIN AND SOCIALIZE YOUR DOGS, PLEASE!

    Okay, I’m gonna go read Texts From Mittens and try to calm down.
