How do I know she will not bite her face off. Another thing that pissed me off last weekend was when we went to Petco to return something. I didnt know it was vac day for the people who dont take their dogs to the reg vet. Roxy and I were outside getting ready to go in after she did good girl and this lady had to labs and let her two girls under the age of 12 run with them to the door on leashes. Roxy on one as well. Everything was so fast that Roxy ran behind me with them trying to smell her and me picking her up. She is very playful and thinks everyone is her friend. I yelled at the kids and their mother also yelled at them. The mother then said by the way they wouldn't hurt your dog. I really dont care. You shouldnt have kids running with dog. As far as neighborhood kids. I do have the lil girls under the age of 6 that ask if Roxy can come out to play. If we re not out on the step already I tell them she is sleeping. When were out I dont let them hold her leash or hold her. |
I know just what you mean! The guy in my first post with the angry dog, his dog is big and he always wants to come near me and my dogs and try to socialize his dog with mine. If your dog always growls and tries to snap at them everytime would you keep doing it? Well he was getting near me today and i didnt even smile at him thinking it would welcome him to come near me. Also there was this pitbull walking with his owner off the leash, i quickly grabbed my girls and got away even tho i dont think the pitbull even saw them. I don't trust any big dog at all! UNLESS i know the owner and the dog very very well and know he wont hurt a fly.
