I'd suggest that not being a dick to a dog reduces the liklihood of an attack.

Any animal can lash out.

Any living thing can have a bad day.

Humans are far worse than any other species in the planet.

Shouldn’t we be better controlled in the way we behave before going on about controling everything else on the planet and failing miserably as our murky past have more than often proved?

This

It's just common sense. While the law says that dogs don't have to be kept on leads in public places however there are orders in place which means dogs have to be on leads in public areas such as children's play parks, sport fields, beaches and roads.

Highway code says thar dogs need to be leashed along places shared with cyclists and horse riders....

And yep, those extendable leads are dangerous

I’ve owned many dogs throughout my life, all have been different. One rescue I had to muzzle outside, our bulldog was fine off lead yet my yorkie when I was younger always needed a lead.

I and my children have grown up with Rottweilers.

Owners should be aware of the individual dogs.

I’ve come across far more humans who need muzzling than I have dogs!

Tom would bring back the dog licence. Every dog owner has to apply for one and sit before a local panel of a Police Inspector, a Magistrate, and a local community leader.

The applicant needs to justify why they want a particular dog and breed and made to attend lessons

I have a German Shepherd, he's pretty reactive so I take him out later on at night when it's quieter, always on a lead and away from other people....If I want to walk him off lead I usually pay for a private field. He can run and explore without fear of being approached....

His reactivity comes from being bitten by another dog who was off lead.....Owner had no leg to stand on because my dog was on lead minding his own....

Rehab and training is long and slow and, he is getting better and can play with familier dogs for a few minutes but I annihilate play so he gets the pleasure feelings and remembers for next time....I still take him out controlled because one move caused by an idiotic owners dog would set training back however many months and I will always refer to him as reactive because all it can take is one mistake

Muzzles have different uses. Tom wouldn’t know because Tom doesn’t like dogs, so that makes Tom narrow minded

Greyhounds usually wear muzzles out in public because they have been trained as a racing dog to chase small animals (even stuffies) who then at the end of the chase get to mouth the stuffy, few GHs can tell the difference between a toy rabbit on a bit of string being towed by a winch in order to train them to run, and real rabbit/small animal including cats, and smaller dogs.

Dogs also wear muzzles to stop them eating shit off the ground when out on a walk, also to stop them nipping other dogs, getting grumpy in play and using their teeth.

Dog being off lead in public is seen as not being in full control. Even a dog with a good recall can choose to not come back, no dog has a 100% recall unless it’s been highly trained, such as police/army dogs, but then you never see them having a game of fetch in the public park do you?

If you can’t trust the dog to come back in a recall, don’t have it off lead. If the dog is not good with kids, don’t have it off lead. If the dog needs a good run in safety, take it to a Run Free secured area.

The dog is never to blame, it’s 100% the owner, yet the dog usually pays for the owners mistake with their life!

Incidentally there are areas which will have signs that a dog must be on a lead or under close control. If you/your dog cannot do close control, put a lead on. Close Control (for those who don’t know) means the dog is off lead but stuck beside you as if it were on a lead. It’s an advanced training technique

Incorrect.

In public places, you must keep your dog 'under control'. Generally, this means close to you and ideally on a lead. If they're not on a lead, they need to be under control in another way, such as paying attention to your voice commands.

Animals are not not to blame,it’s the owners fault how he/she raises the dog.

Dog attacks happen in our neighbourhood as well,but it’s all down to what owners does it to calm down dog,or maybe dog felt in danger or treated to react like it.. there was a saying-dog is like a mirror to a owner. Look at person and you will be able to tell..

No they shouldn’t. My dog has good recall and stays close.

She’s allowed off lead as she’s under control. Tom can stay indoors if he doesn’t like it.

Both my dogs are walked on extendible leads, until they are let off at the park.

How on earth are those leads dangerous???

If the park is public they should not be off the lead surely

That wasn't my question.

My question was how are the extendible leads dangerous??

"

And I answered albeit privately as it’s off topic a bit

There is no blanket law requiring dogs to be kept on a lead in all public spaces. However, there are a series of orders that mean you have to leash your dog in certain places in your local area, for example children's play areas, sports pitches, roads, parks and beaches.

If your dog is not on a short lead on pavements and roads you could be issued with an £80 fixed penalty

both segmants of the net uk law and local orders

Tom has challenged many a dog owner under the Common Law where it is an offence to be Outrageously Out of Control of a Canine on Common Land..

I’d suggest regulating ownership, not all humans are clever enough to own a dog.

Actually the law says dogs should not be dangerously out of control.

Local byelaws might make lead stipulations.

BTW. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

Tom should be careful quoting the law without fully knowing the law.

What are the stated cases setting precedent on what dangerously out if control means? You ought to swot up on them. It means more than not on a lead.

Trust me, I know my shit (which I always pick up in a poo bag and dispose of appropriately)

And just not being on a lead does not, in law, make a dog dangerously out of control

Ive had german shepherds all my life.

Dogs should be under control. Most dog owners do this for the safety of their dogs & others.

Some people do stupid things however, like owning dogs & letting them be a danger, or talking in the third person.

They say dogs behaviour is a result of the owner, that prob true to an extent but if I get attacked by a border collie because his owner has allowed him become aggressive I will have no prob fighting that dog off.

If the same owner had a pitbull that attacked me there would be a totally different outcome.

Most dog bites are attributed to common household pets like labradors and spaniels for example but 100% of fatal and life changing attacks are attributed to a narrow band of breeds.

My 20 cents after having a few partners who were dog owners.

Its the owners who are the problem. imho

People are or some people are weary of dogs either by being attacked by them or know or read of dog attacks, or they fear for their children.

Its up to the owners if in the future there are other attacks on humans which could lead to a ban on ownership, or so many hoops to jump through dog ownership could be made more difficult to obtain.

Nobody is qualified to look at a dog and say it’s on the banned list. Not even the police which has been proven. Breed Specific Legislation uses a set of measurements so even a working stock Labrador could be potentially measured and fall into the dangerous dogs category.

My Staffie would sooner lick you to death or run the other way. gets walked off lead in the park but put on it if I see a dog we don’t know or had a bad interaction with previously.

She regularly walks with a ‘people’ reactive beagle who wears a ‘nervous’ collar and halti all down to arseholes on electric bikes nearly running him over and idiots not controlling their kids when it comes to behaviour around dogs.

There’s Dobbies, Rotties, GSDs and XL bullies who are all pals with my dog and are just big dopes but the dangerous ones are the wee dogs who seem to have serious aggression issues.

Some people and their kids should be fitted with muzzles and put on leads in public.

There may be something in this. Small dogs being overly aggressive could link in to small man syndrome. Men trying to compensate for their lack of height

Dobermans are not on the dangerous dogs list at all please get your infomation right as it silly quotes like that that give a bad name however the man should be warned if he has no control of his dog ....

people who let there dogs of the leads around other that cannot control them are breaking the law ... "

Yes but this man was aggressive with it for example who am i to walk past HIS dog sort of attitude and I've known a doberman to eat through a fence they may not be on the dangerous dog list but in the wrong hands they are dangerous, i didn't actually mention dobermans incidentally

I think if someone thinks they are responsible to own a dog they should have to do trainning with it. No matter what breed. It should be a must! Mine have all had their good citiziens awards. I do that to protect my dogs.

Sorry. I don’t agree with that.

There is good and bad in all of nature.

But yes. The way a dog is treated and trained is incredibly important.

However. It only takes one moment to change any animals behaviour.

Be it fear, pain or any other medium that causes any outburst contrary to its usual behaviour.

Most dog bites are attributed to common household pets like labradors and spaniels for example but 100% of fatal and life changing attacks are attributed to a narrow band of breeds.

2 Dachshunds involved in the highly publicised recent fatal one!

Think you will find it was the big Japanese dog that ripped that poor girls throat out!"

If you read the sentence properly you will see there’s nothing about any Dachshund giving the fatal blow. It simply says there were 2 dachshunds involved in the in the highly publicised recent fatal one. It doesn’t say anything about them ripping anyones throat out.

In any case who in their right mind will walk that many dogs together, such a diverse amount of dogs & all tied to her bloody (no pun intended) belt. If she had them on proper leads and she let go of them she would have had a chance to get away from them/get them back under control, she wouldn’t have tripped over them, or got the leads wrapped around her legs. Im sorry to say but it was an accident waiting to happen

I’ve had a look in various sources for a list of the breeds that she was walking, the only breeds given were Dachshund & Leonburger - both of which originate in Germany. So where did the “Japanese” dog info come from? Also her throat wasn’t ripped out, she died from multiple bites in the neck, which one was a bite in the jugular artery

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s people who sprout shit they don’t know anything about

The dog responsible for the most bites on people in the UK is the Jack Russel terrier. Followed by the border Collie..

Actually it’s not, it’s Dachshunds which are most likely to bite you. Border Collie? They don’t bite . Labs will bite before a BC will
