Fed up of other people!

[LOVEGSD]

Good on you! Sounds like Roxy was under complete control....the bloke is clearly a t***!

It's my pet hate tbh that people allow their dogs to run up to yours when on lead and in fact when I'm on one side of the park with my two and we're charged by another dog from the opposite side...but I won't start ranting

I have to say good on you..I have too many bongos round my way...bumped into a woman that does dog boarding for small dogs and she was walking a pug..anyway I had Sheba sitting and she said she is coming on well..only for Sheba to attempt to do a lunge...she said I can give you a number for that...the dog she had done the same...I said you may want to use it!!

If I didnt own a GSD it would have probably been a different story, he probably would not have flipped at me and not minded a game of chase. I know my dog, so I act accordingly in the situation I`m in. Roxy thrives on chasing any small moving things, be it a ball, cats, small dogs and young children. When we encounter any of the above she is kept on the lead so I have her under control at all times, it would be irresponsible and possibly dangerous to let her run free chasing anything she wants but yesterday, because of his attitude I let her go. She came back to me because we work on the recall and she loves chasing the ball.

It probably didnt do our local reputation any good as it looked like Roxy was the terror, but I know what happened and I dont really care what people think, more dog owners I`m meeting the more I am disliking them.

When I enter a field if I see people playing with their dogs or clearly dont wish to be bothered I will everything possible to keep Rox away from them by throwing the ball in the opposite direction and making myself look more exciting than anything else even running across the field screaming like a girl to get her to focus on me. Looks daft but it works, keeps her with me and not disrupting anyone else.

Really am getting fed up of other dog owners though, some people even pick their dogs up or cross the road when we are out walking, its frigging ridiculous. No one else seems to pick up after their dog which winds me up so much, offered someone a bag the other week after they walked away from their dogs stool, they went bright red and put their hands in their pockets and dug a poog bag out an cleared it up, only because I said something though!

Fact is I`m getting sick and tired of people acting pathetic because shes a GSD. Feel a bit better writing all that, getting it off my chest!

Thanks for your comments, and I`m glad you all agreed with what I did

I could rant on for ages about this subject, but totally agree. If i see a dog on a lead i put Lexi on a lead. However, today me and the OH were out with Lexi on the park. She is so fixated on the ball play that she really doesn't engage with other dogs, until another GSD cross i think, came over barking at her. OH recalled her and told her to wait, which she did. So proud. lol. Unfortunately this GSD's owner was struggling to recall, i sympathised, as Lexi can act deaf when she wants to. But the dog persevered and then Lexi retalliated - only briefly, but i found myself apologising..why? Said i wouldn't rant, lol.

I just put a comment that would have fitted beautifully in this thread in the one about perceptions of GSD's. Irresponsible dogs owners wind me up so much!
