Advise need - Re: dog owner!

Owners are legally responsible for their dogs. Full stop.

That includes when they are off the lead.

Well, the Police called me back last night and want to come round tonight to take a statement. They actually seem quite interested :shock:

Mrs GT also rang NHS direct, as the skin was broken on my leg and I have no idea when I had my last tetnus jab. They suggested I get a doctors appointment as soon as possible, so I will be trotting off to them later today.

At the end of the day, I'm sure I am absolutely fine.....but its better to be safe than sorry, hey

Another thing that works is just stop and reach for a rock-most dogs know what that means

yes, "fetch!" :roll:

Well I've got three dogs all whippets who are bred to chase anything that moves :shock:

If I can train my three with their really strong chase instinct not to chase things then there's no excuse :? I can call my whippets during full chase when their an inch from a rabbits arse and they'll instantly turn back

I hate dog owners like the ones you encountered because it means the rest of us who always pick up their dogs sh*t and always have them under control get tarred with the same brush :x

If one of my dogs ever bit anyone it would be put to sleep :cry: it would kill me to do it but they know from day one as an eight week old pup its a big no no :shock: so if they do it in adulthood they've crossed a very big line and I couldn't have dogs that I couldn't trust 100% :?
