It sounds like to me that either the dog is already aggressive, has aggressive tendencies or they have every intention on training the dog to be that way. Very sad... but she does give fair warning. I hope she post warning signs in her hard/.
Enforcement of Proper Confinement Law.
The law states that "No owner, keeper, or harborer of a dangerous or vicious dog shall fail to do either of the following:
1. While that dog is on the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer, securely confine it at all times in a locked pen which has a top, except that a dangerous dog may, in the alternative, be tied with a leash or tether so that the dog is adequately restrained;
2. While that dog is off the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer, keep it on a chain-link leash or tether that is not more than six feet in length and additionally do at least one of the following: (a) keep that dog in a locked pen which has a top, locked fenced yard, or other locked enclosure which has a top; (b) have the leash or tether controlled by a person who is of suitable age and discretion or securely attach, tie, or affix the leash or tether to the ground or a stationary object or fixture so that the dog is adequately restrained and station such a person in close proximity to that dog so as to prevent it from causing injury to any person; (c) muzzle the dog." (Ohio Revised Code Section 955.22(D))
The law also requires that any owner of a vicious dog purchase liability insurance no less than $100,000 because of damage or bodily injury to or death of a person caused by the vicious dog. (Ohio Revised Code Section 955.22(E))
