Asshats with dogs at Dog Parks

[Switchblade]

So we take Bulleit to teh dog park for a little fun where he always goes and plays with the rest of the dogs and no fights. So this asshat with a pitt/dalmation cross comes rolling up lets his mutt off the chain and they get right up on each other and Bulleit's hackles rise full up, as I step forward to pull him back since I had already let him off his leash, they go for it. The other dog has several small puncures on his face and Bulleit has a slight right fore leg limp and a small cut over his eye. OK, done. They all play fine and a half hour later dalmation dog comes over for a sniff and gets ass humped right away from Bulleit showing who just got ;PWND! for the second time.
Hald hour later trailer trash and his crew come over with their little lap crap and the dalmation dog comes after BUlleit again. This time I tell Bulleit, Get Him. Bulleit is all over him under, over, then back behind him letting him know once again he has been ;PWND!
Two hours later, Bulleit is resting and not any evidence of teh days activities. Dalmation dog and his trailer trash owners might be a little busy with teh bactine though if they treat their dog right. He shows quite a few small punctures around his face and ears, forelegs and on one side.
Bulleit does not, nor has he ever started a fight but he made sure to finish each one today in proper style.
He loves to play, has grown up in doggy day care centers with rave reviews from the people that run them, is highly trained, and basically a super friendly hound that loves to play and hang out. Guess he don't take shit either!
I woud say I am pretty proud of my half breed AmStaff/Pitt cross. HE has some serious moxy

Why is it most dogs would make a pretty good person but few people would make a good dog? Happy to hear Bulliet came out ahead.

Be carefull allowing your dog to fight, he may start to get hot. It will cut your trips to the dog parks short.

think about it, you have a leash law........and you have a dog park. You would assume it's where you take your dog to let him/her run free. You would make a great BLONDE

Re: Asshats with dogs at Dog Parks

We have 3/4 of an acre that he runs in at home. When Sam is doing the Soccer thing we take the dog to the agility stations on one side of the split park. The other two sections are for small dogs and big dogs and encompass about a 30' x 200' area for the dogs to sniff around and play in.
We have decided that if we see other dogs there we will look harder at the owners and more than likely do as we usually do, keep to ourselves, but Bulleit does love playing with the other dogs. He has been trained, socialized and properly worked to be a damn great dog with people and other animals, well except rabbits and squirrels, those are his favorite chase when he sees them in the yard.
For a 65 pound dog, he has courage like no other dog I have ever owned. He fears nothing except Panty 6's vacuum cleaner and her water hose. Explosives, gun fire, and other loud stuff only incites him to 'run to the fight'. I still spend at least an hour a week or more working with him. Next week we are taking 'low crawl' and trying to work that into the crawl tubes, after that will come culverts and working to make 'find'(tracking and locating) a further experience. He can track and locate his kids half a block away right now so with a simple'Find XXX'. Away he goes and tracks them right to where they are hiding.
So long as we know he will stand his ground we are fine. I still don't want him fighting because some trailer trash asshole decides his dog needs to see who's dominant. Bulleit is trained to fight with me, adn I make sure he can juke, move in and out fast, and attack from all sides when we get down with the gloves on. Fists and kicks do not touch him, he is quick, and moves really fast. One hell of a dog

Here he is the other day waiting for a new tennis ball to get thrown so he can chew it til it pops

we'll buddie, according to the law you do

Leash laws

Many cities have passed legislation that require dogs to be on leash in public areas.

Purposes of a leash include: preventing animals from frightening or biting people or other animals, defecating and urinating in inappropriate places, endangering traffic, digging up lawns, causing other damage, getting lost, and getting away from owners. Leashes also provide a clear method of communication and ensure control during training of dogs.

In the United States, leash laws are different within each state. Yet, while some states do not have state-wide leash laws and give localities power to make leash law, there are some other states in which leash laws are clearly elaborate.

States that do not have state-wide leash laws are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

In Connecticut, dogs are not permitted to run at large excepting the situation of hunting. Still, if the dog has vicious propensities and the owner still allows it to run at large and a person is bit, the owner can be fined for up to $1,000 and is also liable for 6 months of prison unless the victim has abused the dog and provoked the harmful behavior.

In Delaware, dogs are not allowed to run at large unless in situations when the owner is present and he has control over the pet. Exception is for farm dogs. Also, during the night dogs must be kept in an enclosure from which they cannot escape, firmly secured with a collar or chain or other device, so they cannot stray from the premises, [3] or are under the reasonable control of the owner or custodian. Persons who do not respect these laws and if the dog bites someone, the owner is subject to civil liability and for fines of up to $1,500.

Dogs in District of Columbia must be kept in a leash as well. They are also not permitted on school grounds when school is in session or on any public recreation area without a leash. [4]

Indiana is one of the states that have a restraint statute which means that dogs must be restrained at all times. Otherwise, if the dog bites a person when not restrained the owner is subject to civil liability and criminal penalties.

Dogs are allowed to run at large during the night in Kentucky only if they are accompanied by and under control of their owner.

According to the leash laws of Louisiana, dogs are prohibited to run at large at all times of the day. The same law applies in Maine, where the only exception is for hunting dogs.

Missouri legislation requests that dogs are kept in leashes that are no longer than 10 feet when they are in state parks or on historic sites. [5] Also, dogs that have rabies are not permitted to run at large.

In Nebraska, dogs may run at large only in counties where the population does not reach 80,000.

New Hampshire legislation does not allow dogs to run at large unless they are accompanied by their owner or custodian or when dogs are used for training or are trained for hunting, herding or exhibitions.

Illinois legislation prohibits owners to walk their dogs when they are not in a leash.

Dogs in New York must be restrained or confined at all times of the day.

According to the North Carolina law, dogs are allowed to run at large during the night only if they are accompanied by their owner or a person who has received the owner's permission to do so.

Dogs in Ohio must be confined or restrained as well as leashed and controlled by their keeper excepting those that are used in hunting.

Pennsylvania legislation states that dogs must be confined or firmly secured or reasonably controlled by a person, within the property of the owner.

Tennessee law prohibits dogs to run at large excepting cases in which dogs are engaged in legal hunting or herding.

West Virginia and Wisconsin are states that do not have a law that requires dogs to be leashed. Still, they do have law that holds dog owners and keepers liable for all damages caused by dogs that are permitted to run at large. [6]

Different law applies to dangerous dogs and female dogs as in different states they are prohibited to run at large at all times. Also, in states such as Connecticut and Louisiana, guide dogs must also be leashed. [7]
