I...I understand your frustration and need to vent. I suspect this is especially frustrating if you're a pitbull, because there are lots of misinformed people who have preconceived notions about pitties, but really this is a problem for all dogs. If I'm out walking on a leash and an unleashed dog (or even a leashed dog) runs up to me and gets in my face, and I react to that dog's rudeness by snapping, it becomes my fault, when I'm really just reacting naturally. A lot of dogs -- good, well-behaved dogs -- become very uncomfortable when other dogs (esp. unleashed) run up to them. People need to be responsible and control their dogs and not let their dogs - on or off leash - just approach other dogs and greet nose to nose.The World According to Garth Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367775414160411887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323069453634152317.post-17733789024895646472012-02-18T18:48:01.492-08:002012-02-18T18:48:01.492-08:00Thanks for following my blog!

When the owner caught up to it, he asked if my dog bites. Well no, but it wouldn't be an issue if your dog was leashed in the first place.Rebelwerewolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724334549085759793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323069453634152317.post-23535629270027461582012-02-17T16:55:01.715-08:002012-02-17T16:55:01.715-08:00I have this same exact problem with my neighbor...I have this same exact problem with my neighbor's yorkie! Unfortunately both my dogs are extremely excitable about other dogs, especially ones who have "escaped" their leash. So every time this yorkie is out it looks like my dogs are crazy scary psychos and makes me look like a bad owner. I have asked her to be more careful but she is completely clueless and it's so frustrating!Stephanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109527167812934642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323069453634152317.post-68806243688277402642012-02-17T16:34:53.778-08:002012-02-17T16:34:53.778-08:00My Catahoula gets that same disrespect.

She walked over onto the neighbor's lawn and pooped(nearly)on the lady's foot and got "Awww isn't she Cute". Luckily my Catahoula actually prefers to stay home and dig gophers or sit on the couch and watch TV with her 4 cats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602749163805873011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323069453634152317.post-35708197475908398712012-02-17T10:23:51.716-08:002012-02-17T10:23:51.716-08:00Completely true and I have been in similar situati...Completely true and I have been in similar situations. My little Mutt was attacked by another large dog at the dog park. My pit bull came to the rescue and attacked the large dog. No one asked if my dogs were okay but everyone made sure they other dog who started the entire thing was okay. My pit bull was only protecting her sister, and once I called her she completely backed off. Yet I left the dog park to rude comments and stares. <br /><br />There is prejudice with dogs just as there is prejudice with humans. I love that you keep your dog on a leash and are a responsible dog owner.Sarah Loves to Bakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052853845430183861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323069453634152317.post-31029627970995362702012-02-17T09:16:06.336-08:002012-02-17T09:16:06.336-08:00Thank you very much!!!
