Dogs WITHOUT leads

[leolion855]

This is driving me NUTS!!!!!

Im having a spate of people walking dogs down the street without a lead!, I try to explain to them it could be classed as a out of control dog and so illegal and that no matter how well behaved the dog normally is when they see a postie we can get chased down a street and ive had to defend myself numerous times, but the owners dont give a sh!t and try to argue the legalities of it.

Im trying to get the CWU to lobby to make walking a dog without a lead in a public place illegal.

Anyone else got this issue?

Completely agree, I love dogs and have my own who is a dream. Could walk off the lead no issues. But wouldn't dream of doing it in a public space. Dogs are unpredictable and the smallest thing can trigger a previously unknown behaviour.
I think it's a more than fair thing to expect

I don’t get why people have dogs, what’s the point? I don’t want to fuss or stroke your dirty dog, when they say “it’s alright he don’t bite might lick you to death” I did say to one persistent customer that alway brought her snarlingly mutt to the door with her, if he did nip me I would insist the dogs is put down, she now locks it in the kitchen.

I opted for a dog rather than children. I hope that's OK with you

Can you have a child put down if it bites you.

That is one of the major advantages of Dogs over Children.

Nasty dogs growling are really frightening and can cause trauma . Inform the dog warden or call bill if it bites 999 if you don't know the dogs owners

I have one guy who thinks it funny when walking his dog off a lead the s**t goes for me, didn't think it was funny when I kicked the little s**t, now when he sees me he puts the dog on a lead, job done
