She's leashed and on a gentle leader when being walked, and only allowed off-leash on dog friendly beaches when no non-dog users are present.<br /><br />But I'm still wary when walking her where I live. Many children in the city, and a surprising number of adults have no idea how to behave around dogs. Kids will run up to to a dog and trying to grab its snout and put their faces up against the dog. Or they'll run up behind, grab the dog and yell and scream. Sure, they're having a good time, but dogs don't respond well to surprises.<br /><br />I've always managed to stop anything going wrong, but one day, I'm going to get between a kid and my dog and have to put hands on the child to stop them getting hurt, and that's going to be assault.

I also note that the term Liverpool and good reputation is a bit of an oxymoron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-31615239979033961092015-07-09T15:03:53.194+01:002015-07-09T15:03:53.194+01:00Please read the comment at the end of the London l...Please read the comment at the end of the London link, whilst idiots like this can spout such total nonsense you have a real problem, and the Blue Cross should know better than to promote breeds that if they revert to the role they were originally bred for you have a potential killer on your hands, no amount of training will change that.<br />Why would anyone want one of these breeds other than for bragging rites or to match their tatoo. wiggianoreply@blogger.com
