Irresponsible Owners

That's a mad rule! I think I like it though.

If it helps, mine recalled beautifully the other day. To a random man shouting 'Lolalola LOLA'. I did not consider the amount of Lolas when I gave her a name that rhymed with it 🤦‍♀️

If you live in Doncaster that man could be me😀

I try to think of unusual names for my dogs, but you can bet as soon as I think something "original" I hear the name all over the place.

At the moment I have Betty, Bonnie & Lola. I know of at least one dog with each name. I did call Lola after the song with the same name by The Kinks, or maybe a Barry Manilow song😀 I only know one Lola, one Betty and a couple of Bonnies.

You would think that with the recent ban XL bully owners would be taking extra care with their dogs. Nope

One was found wandering in town yesterday No lead, muzzle or owner. Some kind soul took it in and posted on Facebook.

Reunited with owner following the post and photo.

Errr, it's against the law ... The kind soul should have reported it.
 
Odd reactions all round, the dog despite how it looked didn’t look like it would harm the sheep, the farmer must have been there judging by his vehicle in the film and the gormless owner who didn’t even seem to realise his dog had been left behind. Just thought, who was doing the filming ?
 
That sheep video is disgusting.. how he plods over with no care in the world. Looks like a XL bully?

Dog owners make me mad on a daily basis!

I have 4 dogs, 3 spaniels and a lab. All working so have a pretty spot on recall and never bother any other dogs.

I’ve had 2 incidents in the last couple of days, mine casually hunting about as spaniels do and dogs bolting the length of the field to see them. Owners had 0 control, one time mine were on the lead, dog bolted over just as I got onto the pavement to cross the road and owner shouted ‘he’s scared and not good with other dogs’ 🙄

Another lady, big open space and a large dog. Hers off lead as were all 3 of mine but all totally ignoring her dog sniffing in the hedges. Her dog ran up to mine, she started panic calling it, one of my spaniels sniffed tail wagging, happy. Her dog instantly went for him, mine cowered so I recalled him and her dog chased him and did it again. She is still panic calling it, dog totally ignoring her. I suggested if it isn’t friendly or doesn’t have a recall it shouldn’t be off lead. The best response yet ‘it’s your fault because you have a pack and he lives alone’?!

I use to bite my tongue, but recently it’s got worse. So many people own dogs and don’t do any training or understand them, my partners dad caught a collie chasing his pregnant ewes this week and the owners attitude was ‘well he shouldn’t be able to get in the field’ 🙄

The farmer was filming. Given the size and type of dog I assume he didn’t fancy grabbing hold of it incase it decided to have a go at him.

The ewe is in lamb so she could lose lambs due to the stress of being worried by the dog. It also looks to try and grab her a couple of times so I disagree that the dog wasn’t doing any harm 🙄

Possibly or possibly the whole thing is staged which is what it looks like to me ? Who knows
 
That film does not surprise me at all, sadly. A footpath runs along a neighbours land, the number of people who allow their dogs to run wild on that land is astonishing. They chuck balls etc, with zero regard, hence one morning sister saw a chap in our field, with our sheep, when asked what he was doing, he showed sister the ball in his hand that he'd retrieved! We have since, coincidentally, fenced with tornado fencing, four feet in from our dry stone walls.

Argh! When I had a dog aggressive dog she was on lead. And all sorts of idiots would let their dogs run up to her. I had one woman tell me that she thought our dogs would play.

Sunny became dog aggressive. After that happened she was never off lead again. I finally returned her to her breeder who found her the perfect home. She's fine with dogs, just not cats. I'm glad she's in the right home now.

And, the best are the people who claim he's never done that before. The d@mn owners aren't near the dogs so how would they know??

One of mine is lead reactive due to being attacked while on the lead by an aggressive GSP that escaped from a car at the vets and set straight into him. So sad how it changed him, fine off lead but terrified on lead now. 😔
He dealt with the situation I explained above very well considering!
