Just been told not to walk on some tits land......

[lexiedhb]

Actually all OP needs is a nice thin check chain,a degree of respect for landowners ,and to consult a REAL dog trainer ,such as an ex forces one;she has been given lots of sound advice on hereand just got arsey over it.
He is probably a beautiful dog (pictures please) with potential to be a credit to his type of dog. He also would benefit greatly if OP could ask a farmer /landowner if they have an ENCLOSED field with no stock in it to give this one a real good burn up daily.
But ,Hey? why waste time ,she`ll get shirty over this too.

NO she wont- as this is advice, good advice at that. Although without seeing how he behaves I'm inclined to stick with what my trainers are currently telling me- have looked into check chains (see my other thread which YOU commented on) so am not ignoring advice given.

We have asked a few folk with fields but inevitably they say "if i let you then everyone will want to" which is fair enough.

Living in Scotland where everyone has the right to go where they please now I find the whole get off my land argument incredible. It works here and would in England if only people would live and let live and not be so hostile to the idea of someone else walking on their grass, footpath or whatever.
Bt the way since the law changed people are not wandering around other people's gardens so that argument really doesn't apply.

Actually - good point - I thought there was a "right to roam" now in England. Not saying I endorse people tramping over crops and chasing livestock but think I will wander off to check this out

Not on private land

Maybe you should come north and see the people who walk Staffies in the parks round here. Some of them are currently using (and destroying) the trees by hanging their dogs from them by their jaws to strengthen them. And this is in a small upmarket market town.

And in my small upmarket market town (that phrase makes my teeth itch a bit, how bourgeois ) the only staffie is owned by a 70 year old woman who sits in the park and throws rubber rings for it endlessly, the staffie then following her home without a lead carrying the rubber ring in its mouth. Sometimes it sits and waits for her outside the butchers, where small children pet it on the head and do not have their faces ripped off.

Anecdote does not equal data, yadda yadda.

Owners of these dogs have to put up with the fact that a tiny minority are owned and trained for aggression and that the ordinary person walking down the street does not know which are which.

On a side note, Lexie may be lucky she doesn't live in this part of the country, a farmer friend of mine when into someone's back garden and shot two Rotties because he believed he had seen them killing his sheep earlier in the week. He confessed to the police and he was never even cautioned and he still has his shotgun licence. He'd happily shoot a dog he felt threatened by on one of the many footpaths that go through his land, justified or not. He'd tell the police the dog went for him, and they would believe him because of the double harness and the appearance of the dog.

Your farmer friend might like to consider the fact that lying to the police is an offence.

So in CPTrayes land it's okay to shoot a dog for wearing a harness, but not okay to not have control of your dog so it bites someone.

Can anyone else see how CPtrayes land is a messed up world?

Also, STFU about staffies. Do you have any idea how many beloved family pets are now locked up in rescues because of people like you and the ***** you spout?

Staffies are nicknamed Nanny Dogs. You know why? Cos you can trust them with the lives of your children. So stick that in your dog racism pipe and smoke it.

Ah thank you for introducing some brevity into this...I am glad this hasn't turned purely into a staffie bashing exercise!
