I'm guilty of off leashing Zoey. She didn't go up to anyone (or dog) close enough to be "threatening" so I thought it'd be ok. She recently nipped at a nice old dog. I was horrified and felt so bad. After that incident, she's either in the backpack, leashed, or I'm carrying her. I think someone complained to the HOA since I received a email "reminder to all residents" that it's the law to leash your dogs.
I'm not sure why that lady was being like that when she was the one being irresponsible. I would think if something like that happened, she'd be more cautious...
I'm glad Teddy didn't get hurt and I'm sorry you're having to deal with something like that. I hope your neighbor will be reasonable and can work things out. |
