    My dog has been socialised since he was a pup - doggy day care. He lives in a house with 3 cats & another dog & he adores all of them. He goes to work with his mum everyday to a rescue where his job is to check the temperament of the other dogs. But he needs to meet the dogs in a certain way. Like all dogs should meet. Not dragged by their owner face to face and certainly not sprinting at one that’s on lead.

    Nonetheless, if your dog is that fussy about how it needs to be approached, it should be muzzled when out and about.

    But there wouldn’t an “issue” if the other dog owners had their dog on a lead.

    “It”

    Christ lol. And you’re a dog owner?

    My dog has never bitten another dog and he’s had to put up with a lot of people that think it’s ok to just let their dog run around bouncing all over him. It also amazing me how many people don’t give a toss about the folks that are terrified of dogs.

    Never seen an out of control lead or leash.

    Actually its not uncommon to see a moron walking around the park with a dog a lot stronger than themselves, and ive seen some dogs pull themselves and the leash/lead out of there owners hands. I've seen a fair amount of dog walkers carrying hurley and big sticks in case other dogs attack there dog. Which is mostly caused by dogs escaping from there moronic owners or moronic owners not putting muzzle on their dogs.

    Or the people walking large breeds on a flexi-lead. Those leads should be binned.

    When did a dog lead become a leash?

    Everybody now talks about their dog leash, but why (and when) did the humble dog lead become a leash? In our local park you can still see some "please keep your dog on a lead" signs, but these are slowly being replaced by dog on a leash signage :cool:

    Americanisation or what?

    We should take the chinese approach and have dog has the main course. Mongrel during the week and thoroughbreds on a sunday

    Your dog is afraid of other dogs, so everyone else has to keep their dogs on a leash just to keep you and your dog happy?, get lost. You should have socialized your dog properly and you wouldn't be having a problem dog.

    In fairness, it's basic ethiquette.

    You don't know how other people or dogs will react to your dog.

    If I see another dog walker coming and their dog is leashed, then do the same.

    I said “it” because I don’t know if your dog is male or female.

    Are you honestly saying you believe that dogs should never have the opportunity to run around off their leashes.

    That sounds cruel to me. Most breeds of dog are born to run.

    Muzzle your dog if it’s likely to bite, which is what *you* said in your initial post.

    Where did I say they should never be off lead? My dogs are off lead everyday. But I make sure it’s safe to do so. I said dogs should be introduced in a certain way. If they were, they’re would be far fewer bites.

    I’d say he/she, never it.
