Why is it that some dog owners think it is ok for their dogs to have no manners?
Detour has been fantastic lately with strange dogs/ people and not being spooked by them so I decided to venture to the common with him and Linx. It is a new enviroment for DD so I knew it would be more of a challenge. I spotted a very big chocolate lab coming towards us and kept a close eye on D, he clocked the dog and didn't worry but it started rushing towards us so I quickly reacted and distracted D until it got closer as I know once they are close by he is fine. The entire and pushy dog proceed to to dash around after both dogs, nose inches from their butts, shoulder barging and hackles constantly up, Linx warned him with a lip curl a few times but to no avail. By this time the owner was way past us, calling the dog who was ignoring her totally. Eventually the dog barged at Linx when he was next to Ethan and the pushchair, Linx snapped in his face and the dog left us.
Surely an owner must know/ see how threatening that behviour is to other dogs/ people? Poor Linx had to resort to snapping and only when he felt me and Ethan were involved. If I had a person shoving me and bothering me like -OI YOU... OI YOU... I would probably hit them a lot sooner :)
Anyway, as disappointed as I was with the owner as proud as I was with my boys- thanks god for dogs with manners :)
