Well, if your dog one day, jumped on mine as you couldn't call it back....(mine on lead) and then bit mine....even though 'it never usually does that!'......I'd be seeing you in court.
Been there, done it.
Am I just a miserable dog walker? - warning rant!

Well firstly Chloe doesn't even know how to bite anyone, and has been attacked before and just rolled over-daft dog!!!!!
Secondly, she is impeccable with children-and will always, always, always come back if children are around-or adults without dogs. She just finds dogs a little bit too exciting occasionally.
We don't walk anywhere with livestock or vehicles-although she is really good with cars and quad bikes cos we have one each.
And also, Chloe doesn't jump on dogs-she only sniffs and licks!! And she's still a baby, and like Hannah with henry, I'm doing my best. Xxxx

Dog Control orders are just being introduced in Northumberland. There was a survey (in the guise of consultation) and has resulted in :-
- dogs exclusion from some public places (including our beach :-(( )
- dogs not allowed in some public areas such as parks, playgrounds and churchyards
- if instructed, you now have to put a dog on a lead
- dog not allowed off lead on or near an A road or B road
more details here http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=9830
Mostly common sense stuff, but annoyed about the beach

Chloe would lose her face to some of the dogs I meet out and about.. no matter if rolling over or not.. why risk it? Recall is not difficult to train especially to a young dog. You do the work, always on the ball. A lab particularly is easy to train. Get a trainer in if you don't know how.

Unfortunatley its the owners like you (''she doesnt KNOW how to bite'', get a grip SHES A DOG) that will end up one day in alot of trouble. And the saddest part is, its only the dog that really suffers!
Dogs are not machines, and shouldnt be expected to behave exactly the same every single second of their lives. AND like almost everyone has been saying on this thread, its not YOUR dog you need to worry about...
OMG please dont get another dog until you have more sense!

Number 1: Other dogs do not know what the hell you are saying so they do not understand you yelling that Chloe will not attack them, it just sounds like you are aggressive as well.
Number 2: She is still a baby and may not live to see adulthood at this rate.

This has probably been said but you should never allow your loose dog to approach one on a lead; alot of dogs feel restricted when on a lead so they behave defensive/aggresively because they can't run away.
Perhaps the owner of the dog ON the lead doesn't have recall 100% so they are being responsible......
If this thread was on the champdogs forum there are quite a few posters here who would get a real slating!

Oh dear.
Well firstly can I congratulate OP on such a good thread highlighting what seems to be a widespread issue. There has been alot of excellent input and hopefully both sides will take on the points made and work harder to keep your dogs and others safe.
I have a Labrador, a Springer spaniel and a Weimerarner. Three fairly large, hyperactive dogs. Three dogs that have been proffesionally trained and are command perfect but as PP said, are not machines.
BUT they are all recalled and leashed immediately when another dog comes into view.
As attached to ''chloe'' as you are Flamehead, she is not a person, but an animal. And you really need to realise that. I did read your other thread about your new puppy and my advice to you would be DO NOT take on another young dog until you are capable of training it properly otherwise as above says, They may not see their adulthood. Please become a responsible dog owner instead of being ignorant and blaming another person for your failings. As PP highlighted, It isnt your dog you need to be wary of but the animal on the other side.

Oh dear, an AAD kerfuffle ...
I was going to write a book-length reply about Dakota and his being absolutely terrified of strange dogs and Willie being set upon in an on-lead walking area while on a rehab walk following his leg surgery but it wouldn't be anything new that hasn't already been said.
I did want to say instead that it is all about manners and consideration for others really isn't it? It's a conscious thought that you might be inconveniencing someone else letting your dogs bound up to them freely. This is, by the way, one of the reasons that a lot of people have their dogs on a lead in the first place - it is caring about you and what would happen if our dogs ran up to you or your dogs or your children or ran into the road in front of your car because the dog has less than reliable recall.
If something happens because your normally good recall fails - then that's life. Stuff happens, these are animals after all and none really are perfect (although the adorable Bella Beagle comes close sometimes
). Care that it happened though and I'll bet the person whose dog yours has just accidentally bothered won't mind so much really ... I know I don't, even if I have to spend some time calming Dakota down afterwards or checking Willie's leg to make sure it survived the encounter.
