| Rude dog owners....aarrrrggghhhh!!! Ok, so I just have to vent. The other day I was walking Nikko, and this lady with her cocker spaniel was walking by. My Nikko is very friendly and so he started pulling towards her dog. I am always very cautious and I started pulling him away. She tells me "its ok" and brings her dog right over to mine. They start doing the doggy sniff thing and all of a sudden her dog rears on his hind legs and comes down and slaps Nikko in the face with his paw. He was about 15-20 lbs and Nikko is only 9 lbs. My baby looked stunned and instantly cowered over to me. The lady then starts laughing and tells me "I knew he was going to do that." WTF???? You know your dog was going to hurt mine and you intentionally bring him over? What is wrong with people? Thankfully Nikko was ok but what if her dog would have attacked mine severely. Would she still find it funny? Am I being overly sensitive?

| Aww that sucks! I think it was more of a dominant thing that the cocker did, it does suck that the owner thought it was so funny... I dont think you are overly sensitive at all. I would have been like WTF too!!

| No, you are not being overly sensitive. If I think Ellie is going to cause a problem, she gets picked up or we walk in the other direction.

I don't understand this lady's attitude but it seems to be happening a lot lately. Just down right mean people! I really don't like other people to let their dogs run over to mine when they're on long leashes - they don't have control of them and don't realize that it doesn't take much for them to get hurt by the other dog, even if unintentionally -- unlike this situation. But no - I don't think you're overly sensitive. A couple of weeks ago we went to the indoor flea market and bought a zapper. I wanted one that would take down a 150 pd pitbull. The guy who sold it to us was waiting for me to say a 150 pd man... and was a little surprised when I said, no... I can do that with a baseball bat - I need this for when I walk my dogs.

| I can understand that. The dog was just being a dog. However, her dog was larger than mine and she should not have assumed that would be ok with me. My little 5 month old maltese puppy is still teething and I always warn people, especially children, if they want to come over to pet her. She means no harm by being nippy, she's only a baby but its my responsibility to warn people. My problem with this lady is that she didn't take into account that my dog was smaller than hers. What if Nikko was 3 lbs. as some Yorkies are? Her dog could have done serious damage.

| I'm sorry your little guy got hit! I hope the lady didn't intentionally bring her dog over knowing it would intentionally hurt yours! However, I am a teacher and I see some horrible parenting decisions with kids so who is to say that doesn't spill to their pets too Maybe that is just the way her spaniel says 'hi' and greets all new friends. Still a littlw warning would have been nice. If your little guy isn't used to rough play, I bet it did shock him... I bet Nikko was like WTF too! |

| Gez, I was going to say no - that they aren't the same but now I don't know. I found a picture of the one we bought. I think it's the second one down - the pink one (only we got it in black). We only paid $50 for ours. I like that it's rechargable, fits in the palm of your hand, and has a safety strap so that someone can't take it away from you and use it on you.
