Fuming

Ok, i'm walking Gordon on the park on his long line yesterday, in the opposite direction comes a women with a small dog,as she walks towards us she askes if my dog is ok with other dogs, I say yes he just wants to play. She lets her dog come over to Gordon and it immediately jumped up growled and bit my Gordons nose, I don't know who was more shocked me or Gordon!!. The womens reply was sorry about that, he sometimes does that!!!. Luckily Gordon was ok but it's not the first time this has happened , im sick and tired of people letting there dogs come over to mine if there is even a chance they might be aggressive. I have control over my dog, it's about time other people had control over there dogs. Luckly Gordon has never shown aggression back, but he's coming up to being a teenager and may retaliate one day, So where do you stand with this?? if it happened, I have him on a long line all the time as his recall is not good! but I cant control other peoples dogs  

How frustrating. Hope you and Gordon are ok.

I think I know how you feel, can you just ask people to put their dog on the lead when they are approaching that way all the dogs are under control.

Yes Lisa he's fine thanks. Yes Kathy I will do, I suppose I have just assumed that if people let there dogs off lead to run up to us they are ok x. To be honest Gordon just went back to playing with his ball after I checked his face, he's such a laid back lil boy, it's me that get angry with irresponsible dog owners.

glad you are both ok xx

Poor Gordon, at least he is OK xx

Poor Gordon, I hope you're both ok ! x

How frustrating! And if that was the other way around, there would have been hell to pay! Bloody people   I'd just avoid him and tell his owner that you don't want them interacting anymore. Just try to keep Gordon's interactions positive with known calm dogs for a while

.

I feel your pain,i have lost count how many dogs has went for broxi,it happens sometimes on a daily basis here and he has been bit before and bleeding from mouth and nose,yet still he is as friendly as ever,i just fear that can all change,one day he mite get fed up and start disliking other dogs because of it

Its infuriating I have had this on many occasions, once a scottie dog owner let him up to Vin who was on lead, he went straight for his face and grabbed his lip and was shaking it. Hence to say Vin had a puncture mark in his lip.
I think maybe little dogs sometimes its fear aggression so they strike first to protect them selves. Lil sh1ts!!   

Well that lady has me fuming too, she has the bloody cheek to ask if your dog is ok, knowing full well that her own bloody dog bites on the nose of other dogs    and carrys on letting her dog do that, well one day a dog is not going to appreicate this and put that little dog in its place, and whos fault is it going to be!    

Grrr these people are my worst nightmare, I have put many posts on here about people letting dogs run up to Axl whilst he is on lead. He's a friendly boy but now he can be a little unpredictable so he's not allowed off lead with other dogs around. The amount of body blocking I've done for him is insane. Now I don't mess about I ask people to put their dog on the lead as they approach, usually they do I can't understand why its so bloody hard for people to see a dog on lead and put theirs on, just in case...

poor Gordons nose    That women shouldnt let her dog near any other dogs if it keeps doing that grrrrrr
