There are only two people in my neighborhood known for this and one is a senior dog that never leaves his owners side by more than 10 feet and the other is a mini-Aussie so I would never fear either and both know my dog well b/c I'm out all the damn time I feel like. I find it strange that so many people in your area walk w/o leashes but I guess I'm just used to what i see on a daily basis. I would think most people would know not to do this unless you're in a confined area like a park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, people are stupid and think their dogs have such a great recall...until they don't. Dogs have been shot because they are off-leash and attack or are believed to be poised to attack another person/dog. Unless you're in an area where they are allowed to be off-leash, they shouldn't be. My guys are only off-lead in the yard. Any other time they are on leash, and we never greet other dogs that we don't know on-lead. You're asking for trouble 9/10 times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we have a neighborhood FB group where people, usually on a bi-weekly basis, ***** about these two people walking their dog off their leashes. I agree w/ you that they should never be but I know them well enough to not fear them. I live in a fairly quiet area so there's not a ton of traffic either even though both are generally close to their owners anyway. The people that are strange, to me, are the two other people I see walking their dog off a leash until they see someone else walking a dog and then they instantly leash their pup. What's the point? This makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your dog gets out of the yard/their leash and you're yelling to me that he's friendly as their are sprinting over to us, my dogs don't understand what you're saying and if it gets close enough, they are going to protect us. Yesterday marks the 10th time a dog has busted out and run up to us since we moved to the neighborhood. Thankfully my 3 are able to defend themselves but the other dog yesterday unfortunately got a nice gash on his lip. Dogs aren't social animals. They are pack animals. Some can be fine with a stranger running up to their face but most will get defensive. I would do the same if someone was running up to my wife and I screaming at us. Being protective over their pack does not mean they are aggressive. Well said. I cannot stand when people actively walk their dog off leash, my condo neighbor does it all the time. Let's the dog right outside without a leash. Idgaf how "nice" or "friendly" your dog is. You don't know how my dog is going to react. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D82 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 @Nozizaki I think we need an update on the pup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 @D82 sorry I haven't posted an update! Bagel is doing well! He's now about 27/28 lb at 8 months old. We started taking him to daycare once a week, it really helps him socialize a bit extra and also gives us a little bit of a break. He's in the midst of his adolescence, but it's not that bad. He can be a bit stubborn and won't immediately do commands, but he has a very submissive personality so if we give him a stern no then he usually listens. He's getting neutered in a little less than a month (he'll be 9 months) which I'm sure he won't be thrilled about but he was never going to be a stud dog. Although he is over qualified, imo. 10/10, possibly the best dog of all time 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Actually, on a related note there are a lot of things going on in our personal lives and we are almost assuredly moving later this year. I think it'll just be ~30 mile move instead of cross country, but I am worried about overstressing the baby 🐕🦺Anyone have any advice about how to move to not stress out a puppy/young dog? My biggest concern is that Bagel is very territorial of his couch and he won't like us breaking it down and moving it. He gets REALLY stressed just when we clean the couch.

Try looking for a calming aide to give him when you guys are moving. That should help. Ask your vet which one though, as there are several on the market and I'm not sure which one would be the best to suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% on what you mean by a calming aid, is it like a CBD oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Damn...just found out our Golden is going to need TECA-BO surgery on both her ears Its the unfortunate result of chronic ear infections. ( its not uncommon) We've been treating her medically for 3 years with no luck, so surgery* is last option available. She will be mostly deaf once the surgeries are completed, so we are trying to re-train her to pay attention to hand signals and foot stomps before the surgery. Damn. * If anybody has been through this procedure before, kindly let me know about your results. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/total-ear-canal-ablation-and-bulla-osteotomy-tecabo "This surgery involves the complete removal of the ear canal and tympanic bulla (middle ear), leaving only the ear flap (pinna) remaining."
