Dogs, what would you do in this situation then ?

SIT / BAD DOG

If that doesn't work , the owner is beyond hope .

A electricity company person not far from me got mauled to death by dogs about a week ago.

Had a nasty one a few years ago riding with a mate who had a dog go for him, he kicked out at it to fend it off & the owner shouted 'Touch my dog & I'll kick the f*** out of you'. Broad daylight, plenty of people around to see it. Said on here a few times I really don't think there's many bad dogs about but no end of shitty entitled owners.

Exactly.

 

[Gilbo]

this isn't me but I'm sure we've all experienced something similar

EDIT: just to say the rider did sustain bite punctures and heavy bruising, tetanus shot and antibiotics required, no idea if compensated for tattered riding gear

Jesus not had owt like that,had my shoe nibbled. No such thing as bad dogs just bad owners.

I once saw a guy soccer kicking his hunting dog in the stomach for not following his commands.

I yelled at him to stop it.
Than the guy had a mental breakdown and gettin total Crazy.
He told his dog to bite me.
But luckly his dog was waving his tail and had no Intentions to do so.

Crazy World

That upsets me. There are many ways to train a dog or become the alpha without the use of these tactics. Another lazy pet owner he is.

It is classified under the firearms act...

classified as a firearm and under the Firearms Act of 1968.


Under section 5(1)(b) of the Act, possession, purchase or Obtaining any such item designed or adapted “to release any liquid, noxious gas or otherwise” is prohibited.

Just to confirm what the other chap said, in UK legislation it's treated as a firearm.

 

[Gallijam]

Why did u stop Iv been in that situation and the dogs he intimidated when ur riding and back away

 

[Doomanic]

A Malinois can keep up 20mph all day and sprint significantly faster. Then you've got the added joy of being knocked to the ground at speed and savaged.

yes...semantics really.........its a prohibited weapon under Section 5 of the Firearms act. The important thing for folk on the forum is to understand it is illegal in the UK...........although not in some countries in Europe...........and not in the US??

If a dog was latched on to my leg, I'd worry about the legality of it later. Saving some for the owner would seem appropriate too.

Hiker; What’s your dog’s name?
Me; Askem.

I’ll get my coat…
