| claraclutterbuck |
Does anybody know anthing about several dog attacks in silsden park recently ????? |

maybe the blonde guy with the black staffie who thinks he can walk into coop daily and take beer wine and meat and get away with it maybe silsden people can look out for him lives opposite robin |

wonderful piece of jumping to conclusions there! |
|
| pumbajunior |
nope not heard or seen any i take my dog there sometimes but never off the lead is this dog on dog attacks or dogs attacking people? |
|
| do-gooders |
maybe no relivance to the post but intresting how many points are we making |
|
| claraclutterbuck |
I heard on the grapvine today that 4 or 5 dogs have been attacked in the park by the same dog and one of the dogs that got attacked was a puppy and had to be taken to the vets to be pts.  |

I know that this is off thread, but surely the staff at the Coop should keep an eye out for him or perhaps involve the police ! |
|
| do-gooders |
the staff do but who is going to confront a person in a shop with this type of dog the plolice are informed but when who knows |

My dog was attacked by a large Bull Mastiff being looked after by a couple on Bolton road. Luckily the actual owner paid the rather large vets bill. Both the dog warden and the police however were not interested when I tried to report it. |
|
| claraclutterbuck |
The story i heard was a german shepherd doing the attacking, as a german shepherd owner this concerns me as i dont think there are that many shepherds in silsden and i dont want all shepherds tarring with the same brush ! |
|
| claraclutterbuck |
Dodzi i can't beleive the dog warden or police wouldn't get involved i would have been fuming ! Hope your dog is on the mend ! |
|
| steetonblue |
nope, police and dog wardens will not do anything about dog on dog attacks - my dog almost lost its leg to a rescued dog - we rang the RSPCA who had rehomed the dog and they were incredibly unhelpful too considering the owner had no control over a very big and aggressive dog! |

I firmly believe that licensing dogs should be reintroduced. Chipping should be mandatory, both of which would then give the police force the power to sort these issues. It will not stop dog fighting, drug dealers and their likes, but it would add to the list of offences they could be charged with. It does not excuse the attitude of the police, RSPCA and dog wardens service in this instance. |

She is thanks - nearly took her ear off though - and she's an English Bull Terrier. Would like to think if it had happened to a smaller dog - or worse still a child! |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Thing is most dog owners are responsible, as with everything else in life it's the few that spoil it for the rest of us. I haven't heard anything about any attacks but then I do not have a hige amount of contact with other dog owners. On a different matter it's owners who think their dogs are lovely and well behaved that annoy me. I have my dog on the lead as she is nervous of other dogs and this makes her behaviour unpredictable, but other owners cannot read that I have my dog on a lead and also read her body language to see she is nervous and let their dog come up to mine off the lead and upset my dog saying "it's Ok my dog is friendly" I often get so despairing I feel like shouting at them. I wonder what can be done, obviously reporting them is doing nothing, I thought that the police had a dangerous dogs register, I know my Mum's Parsons Russell once bit someone(long story) and he was put on some kind of register with his name and chip number and was threatened with being pts if he re-offended. |

were all these dogs on leads at the time ? I think dogs should always be on a lead in a public place, I am a bit scared of dogs and the number of times owners have let their dog run and jump up at me its really annoying and if I say anything to them I get a mouthful back or "he/she is only being friendly" how do I know that? suprised police can't do anything when there has been an attack surely it is an offence to have a dog dangerously out of control |
|
| steetonblue |
it was explained to us that as the law stands, dogs fighting with dogs is just nature and unless it is a breed that is on the dangerous list, then there is nothing they can do. If that's the law then fair enough, my big moan was at the RSPCA who gave a known problem animal to an inexperienced dog owner who could not control it around other dogs and thought it was ok to walk it in really busy places! Proves the point - it's not bad dogs, it's bad owners! |

This maybe of use www.wikihow.com/Handle-a-Dog-Attack My grans border collie went for me when I was a child, luckily I managed to move my hand out of its reach in time. It was defending its personal space. At the time our Doberman was locked in the kitchen, he was really soft (he was never given “personal” space like my gran gave hers), never barked at salesmen, cats or other dogs but at that point was growling and trying to get to my grans dog and after this could never be let near her border collie. All dogs can be aggressive under the right circumstances but some can be very unpredictable. In my grans case the dog had problems but she failed to take precautions (muzzle etc.) which nearly ended in a serious accident! |

We took our dog to the park yesterday, along with a couple of young children who have been staying with us for the weekend. There was a group if people 3 dogs on leads, but there were many other who had dogs off leads, inlcuding some who had let their dogs wander out of their eyesight. Considering the park was packed with children and families it was worrying as my dog on her lead was getting excited watching the kids playing and kept trying to go into the play areas to join in the fun. She was on her very short lead so I was able to stop her but these out of eyesight of the owner dogs may have gotten into the play areas. I know my dog is good with children but I would never let her near children unsupervised and would never let her into a play area. Luckily none of these dogs did get inot the play area but people need to take responsibility for their dogs around the park. |

You speak a lot of sense Hermoine. That is the only way to keep your dog under control by being on a lead. I have seen a lot of dog owners with the extended leads. Surely this is enough for your dog to get excercise. The sign says dogs should be kept under control, but if the dog is loose surely that is not the case. Children do run around shouting excitedly when they are playing in the park, and they have the right to do so safely. I myself have been frightened occasionally by dogs bounding up to me, as I cannot defend myself. Easy solution to this is to change the notice to DOGS MUST BE ON LEADS. |

yes there are 2 types of dog owners responsible ones that keep to the signs for dogs on a lead,pick up after them ,have them up to date with boosters and micro chip them never let them run off, have them trained so that they will come back or heel to a call if needed and then there mr or mrs could`nt give a f**k dog owner thats most likley need a brain extention instead,probably had the dog given, lets them off 1st chance they get b***s to anyone else,lets them shit anywhere and no pick up,lets them run up to everybody and their dogs and says hes just being playful before it rips your dog to bits,and let young kids out with them when they know they can`t control them and on and on and on DOH!!!!!!!!!! |

I myself have a german shepherd, i can walk her for hours and shes still exciteable, but i let her off in the park for half an hour and shes tired, its the best way to keep her calm, but i keep her away from children, i carry a toy so she comes back when recalled and keeps her focused on me rather than anyone else, she doesnt go to play with other dogs unless i say so, if i see a dog on a lead i stay in the same spot, only if they walk upto me does she interact and its only a hello, i know shes a softy but i understand how people wouldnt know so i keep her well away, a extendable lead isnt sufficent for her to run as she has broken two already, and to be fair she is much better off the lead with other dogs around, being on the lead makes her anxious and loud, but her tail wags, it shoudlnt be one careless owner who ruines it for the rest of us, the dogs who simply need to be let off to interact and keep calm, some dogs are much better off the lead, but the owner who obv doesnt care who their dog injures needs to learn the dangerous dogs act, the dog needs a muzzle and to be kept on a lead. |

Contrary to my obvious observation I do not dislike dogs. In fact I generally feel quite sorry for them. Wandering along on the end of a piece of string when they would rather be running and sniffing. I usually say hello to most dogs who often look mournfully back. I do not keep a dog because like the majority of dog keepers I have not the time, training or inclination to be it's full time 'leader of the pack' As far as I can make out people have dogs as: - substitute children!!! - something they can boss around - something that they think makes them look good - burglar alarms/deterrent - to make money - to show them off - because the children wanted one - as company and only the latter can I agree with. Of course there are 'working dogs' who usually are treated as proper dogs, looked after properly, trained properly, and clearly understand the pack leader. Working dogs generally look the happy and contented dogs. Even greyhounds who once had a pretty awful working life are now treated well. Turns out the pampered greyhound is also the fastest greyhound!!! Other than good control and licensing legislation I see no other way for the dog poo problem to be controlled. As dog owners vote, and there are a lot of them, I'm afraid it is going to be part of our democratic duty to accept dog poo. |

Dog licenses should be brought back. dogs should be treated as dogs as thats what they are, otherwise you get a dog with alot of problems, i got a dog to teach agility to, and she has taught me so much more, yes shes a friend, but i dont baby her, i treat her like a dog shes a mameber of our pack. |
