Keep dogs on leads!

[difflock]

A dog on a lead is not necessarily under control!

A 10 stone Rottwiler with a 7 stone bimbo on the other end of the lead

How does that work exactly?

Conversly, witness "Daddy" on the dog Whisperer, a Pitbull perfectly behaved but NOT on a lead.

We, the owners, and the dogs are ALL different.

PS

Some owners are overprotective of their children too.

Assuming that a big dog must be a bad dog.

JHC!

And btw a herding "nip" on the back of the leg is not really a "bite"

People should understand the difference.

I do agree with what Big J is saying, its sad if a dog has to spend its life on a lead. And that its about repecting your surroundings, be it livestock or woods/cover in shooting season. This is the type of basic knowledge that alot of people lack, especially town folk who come to live in the country.(no offence to anyone)

mine is off the lead 99% of the time but if i have to cross a field with sheep she goes on the lead.

Like most issues these days it comes down to knowledge and respect, which are in short supply in the 'im entitled' culture we live in:thumbdown:
