Another terrible pet owner, giving the responsible ones a bad name.
If your "babies" came at me off leash I'd kick them as far as they'd go. I'm not waiting for a strange dog to bite me just because you're clueless.0 -
Say what now? My kids have airsoft guns, and even with the heavy pellets, they don't do any damage. I don't recommend carrying an airsoft pistol to use against a dog because if the dog's over about 10 lbs, it will be completely ineffective.
Airsoft gun
Airsoft gun
Airsoft gun
And furthermore, airsoft gun.
You were saying?
I question if those are airsoft. Can you tell me the projectile velocity and weight that caused those holes? Because I've been shot by a rifle with a 430 fps muzzle velocity and a .3g round from about 5 feet away. Sure it stung, but damage? none.
Are you sure - we're talking about the toy guns that shoot plastic bbs here ...
Yes ma'm they are. I have also seen first hand the damage they can do. I grew up in the country like the OP, and there were a few neighborhood kids that had small airsoft guns with plastic pellets. They and their parents thought they didn't do any damage so they were allowed to shoot at whatever they wanted. They took that to mean they could come into our yard at night and shoot our animals, one of which was a German shepherd, and they did the same damage as seen above to all of our animals that they got a hold of. Their lovely parents said that it wasn't their kids, there was no way that their pellets did that, but we found lots of little bright green plastic pellets in our yard, which are the ones they use. I'm sure there are times where it won't do any damage, but I've seen first hand that they can in fact, hurt.
Well thanks for the correction. (No Sarcasm) ... As I mentioned I've been shot a few times with them, and it's on the level of a bee sting. I guess this weekend I'll see if I can get one of my kids to break the skin. I knew these were not as safe as nerf guns, but was unaware of any of this.
So I revise my original advice.
Yeah. Get an airsoft gun, heavy ammo, and make that dog remember you.0 -

Yeah, I had a monster of a dog go after me once, years ago. I was walking with a friend by the side of the road (we were on a public roadway, not on someone's private property) one evening and out of nowhere, this enormous black brute (its head was level with my chest, and I'm 5'7), came charging up to us barking his head off. We stopped and backed away slowly, not wanting to provoke him into chasing us, but he lunged at me and grabbed my arm in his jaws. I screamed and my friend yelled and lunged at the dog, which let go and ran off.
Fortunately it was winter and I was wearing a heavy padded jacket, but I still had a bruised arm for a couple of days. We never did find out where the brute had come from, as we were not anxious to go back to investigate. I'm not sure anything besides a moose rifle would have slowed that beast down, it was bigger than a Shetland pony. I like to carry a good thick walking stick now.
And no, I'm not scared of dogs, I like them; I'm just careful not to make assumptions about them being just "friendly" or "playful" without some sort of evidence.0 -

Your dogs are allowed to bark for 20 minutes?! Geez, mine only get 10, and they've had AC called on them for less than 1.
I had a dog who was dog aggressive, but submissive with people. When my kids would let her out by accident, my neighbors who didn't know me didn't know what type of dog she was. One guy threatened to shoot her the next time she was on his property, and as much as it would've killed me, I sure as hell wouldn't have blamed him.0 -

A. Never pointed out any mistakes with your grammar. I make plenty myself. It's the content of what you're saying that I find to be ridiculous.
B. Glad you think you're a responsible dog owner. Just like every dog owner. Some of them are wrong. So long as they never attack anyone you shouldn't have any problems.
C. I don't have dogs.
D. Go ahead and threaten me with your dogs. It's just the internet. But in real life you would not enjoy the outcome.0 -
I had my dog in the yard playing fetch when a walker with a dog came by this morning. My dog is young (thus dumb), and ran to greet them before I realized they were there. The walker started hitting him with a walking stick and then said, "You should have that damn dog on a leash." To which I replied, "We're outside playing fetch our yard. He lives here, you don't, and he's not left outside unsupervised. Call the cops or don't walk here anymore."
THE END.
Amen! Dogs don't need to be leashed on their own property!
they do when they leave the yard, I don't know how many times I have been chased down the road by a dog that was not tied up or fenced in on their yard . If your dog even stands in the ditch by the road at the end of your yard they are legaly not on your property anymore that part is owned by your township so if your dog runs out and grabs someone walking past your house YOU the owner are liable. I am not one to over react about a dog charging me but if they come up and want to start something with me or my dog I have the right to defend and I will fight back, there are a couple of households here that I will report if their dogs chase again. We all have the right to walk/run down the road and be safe.0 -

Haha it's alright. I just know they can do damage, and I'm sure you kids are not nearly as unsupervised as these brats were! As long as they use them responsibly, they can't do any damage.
I personally like things that make loud noises, like an air horn. It calls attention to you if the owner is not around, and it scares the dog away at least for a moment. When I was in high school there was a house I had to walk by to get to my bus stop, and there was one really mean dog that always was out of the fence. I grew up with animals and my neighbor was a vet, so she had helped train me to recognize the body language of a dog that wants to play and a dog that wants to see how your jugular tastes. This one did not want to play fetch. I threw heavy rocks at it, swung my bag at it, kicked it in the face (all of which I felt terrible about--it is just trying to protect its property!) and nothing worked. Finally I yelled and yelled and yelled and the dog backed up, and the stupid owners finally came out. Of course, being lovely people they were mad at me because their dog was bleeding from where I kicked it :noway: I think one of the most important things people can do in this situation is familiarize themselves with animals body language, because it is easy to tell when they want to play and when they want to fight.
That being said, something that will hurt but not do any damage is not a bad second choice, like a pellet gun aimed in the proper spots.0 -

If it is park that is considered by the township/city to be an off leash dog park then runers should not be running there if they are not comfortable with dogs. I am not sure about your area but if it is not listed as an off leash area then all dogs are required by law to be on a leash.0 -

OP does NOT live in town. She lives in the country. Whole different set of rules here.
As a woman, if you see a bunch of "gang-type" guys down an alley way would you run down there or steer clear for your safety because you are scared? SAME thing. You are afraid of the big dogs and thats where they LIVE. Run elsewhere.
Wrong answer on a number of levels. But mainly because OP posted the rules of her town which quite clearly state that owners of animals must not let them chase people. I understand you in that, from a "common sense" perspective some things are not wise but if we assume that the dog owner here is not a criminal element but instead just a generally law abiding person who is ignorant of the law and/or common courtesy then you are back to blaming the victim.
In a public right of way, people should be able to pass unimpeded - and this means, as others have pointed out, that the person passing should not be burdened with having to figure out whether your dog is friendly or not. People here are asserting their private property rights and that they should be able to have their dog off leash in their yard - and I agree. But it's also pretty obvious that travelling in the public right of way is an important right that should be protected. Telling people to go another way is as much infringing on someone's rights as telling the dog owner they must leash their dog on private property.0 -

Agree animals should be on a least for everyone including the animals safety. Mine don't even go off the porch without a least and they are taught to weight for a leash.
Now the goats, I would say was probably thinking you were all having some fun. But unless you are use to stray animals, I can see how that is scary.0
