General discussion / Re: Dogs
« on: April 17, 2020, 12:40:01 PM »Agree 100% LCohenSome parks have signs up saying things like, use leads if dogs can’t be controlled, others are very specific and leads must be used.
You can’t get it off a dog unless you stroke a dog that’s got it on it’s fur.
My point is not Covid related. Signs are clear. The dog owners using the park seem incapable of following basic rules
Dogs off a lead is fine as long as the owners are happy that they have control of the dog and they have the bags to clean up any mess the dog may leave. Letting dogs run about out of control and not cleaning up mess gives all the responsible dog owners a bad name.
I’m not talking about dogs of the leash. I’m talking about dogs off the lead in parks with multiple signs that say dogs must be kept on a lead. I need hardly point out the important difference
Try living with the likes of a boxer dog that hasn't had 2 hours sprinting under its belt a day and you may change your tune. You'll little to be be moaning at by the sounds of it
3 issues here.
Firstly my grandson was recently attacked by a dog. Mauled would be a huge exaggeration but psychologically he is not in a great place. The park has become a nightmare now because other people can’t/won’t obey the rules.
Secondly I don’t live with a boxer. Those that do have decided to. If they are responsible dog owners they will no doubt have assessed the dog’s requirements and their ability to legally meet them before buying/breeding the dog?
Thirdly the point that the rules are clear and clearly displayed. So which category do the dog owners fall into - can’t read, won’t read or don’t think rules apply to them?
