I just don't understand...

Why some people are so utterly ignorant it makes me so frustrated    

Walking Axl yesterday, he was charging around in the little woods near us and when we came back out on to the path we put him back on his lead just as a lady with a Weimerigner (sorry about the spelling!) was walking towards me, my OH and Axl.  My OH took Axl and sat him down on the side of the path with a treat, I was watching the lady waiting for her to put her dog on a lead or at least call her back, I had a long wait!  The dog was charging towards us and the lady wasn't even attempting to call it back so I shouted out "please can you put your dog on a lead?"  to which she replies "why?"     I say to her because my dog's on a lead to which she replies "and?"... seriously what??  I then say "he's on the lead for a reason you know" and she looks at me and rolls her eyes.    

Now, Axl is only on a lead because he can't control his excitement and ends up getting in trouble with other dogs through his bouncing around BUT she doesn't know that and she was quite willing to let her dog come up to mine and potentially stress him out... why oh why?!

What if he'd been fear aggressive or nervous around other dogs... I really do give up to be honest

   omg silly cow, can't believe some people, rise above it Hun xx

SOOO frustrating!! People can be so ignorant. But i'm sorry "Weimerigner" cracked me up    

"Weimerigner" cracked me up

lol if its not Staffie I can't spell it!!

People always think they have more rights than anybody else. Hate the entitlement mentality...

This is precisely why Rocky is always walked on a lead and I avoid most dog walkers, I get sick and tired of coming into contact with people like the one you explained in the original post.

try and not let it get to you,some people just got no sense   

Stupid woman!

Don't worry about it, a friend of mine was getting 1 & she called it a woofenhammer   

Ditto here with Kathy, Oz is on a lead for a reason even a long lead in the park, some people just don't get it, idiots!!

  There are so many ignorant owners out there like that, makes me so mad!

She a very silly woman and should not be allowed to walk herself never mind a dog

Lol woofenhammer! That's brilliant lmao x

I just don't understand the mentality of these people they just don't care about anyone else but themselves. Give me animals over people any day lol

Very irresponsible indeed.

We get loads of off lead dogs around this way which isn't an issue until there is an altercation. I hate the pack walkers that let them all run around together without a thought to what that pack could do to other dogs and I have witnessed it too. They just walk on like nothing happened whilst chatting away on the darn phone !!!! 

Why don't people understand that all dogs should be controlled, I am a firm believer that there are no bad dogs just ignorant owners.

Stupid woman! I agree with CheamCommoner, just ignorant owners!!

This I find really frustrating too.. There's a dog walker that walks by me with 15+ dogs, Biscuit is terrified of one dog on it's own, but she literally wets herself when she sees these. The walker can't control them all so 3-4 approach Biscuit and are all sniffing her, but she can't come to get the few troublesome ones without bringing 10 other dogs with her! Biscuit's so scared by this point she has completely frozen and will not budge, only way to get her out of the situation is to pick her up!

Debs can you get send me an email please

Aww Biscuit I hate the pack leaders too, if I see more than 3 dogs all together I will turn around and walk the other way, I don't even try to walk past them, I know Axl is just bouncy but more than one dog sniffing him he does get anxious, he will just freeze and all his hackles come up, his ears go down and he just looks scared, I don't risk it anymore, I will literally walk well out of my way to avoid people nowadays, its less stress.

Wish I could pick Axl up but he's way too heavy and he'd probably wriggle anyway bringing us both down in a heap!

Erm.. silly question but where's the email button... I didn't know you could send emails on here lol

Underneath Steve's name Hun, the contact us button xx

Ah okay thanks! x
