Comments on: To Leash or Not To Leash?

If you want your dog to run off-leash, then get a big yard, go to the dog park, doggy daycare, somewhere that you are not intruding on others rights. This is for the safety of the dog, other dogs, other people, and the owners pocketbook. BTW, Sebastian is one of those dogs who runs free at any chance he gets. He just takes off and never looks back! I feel your pain! <abbr><em>Stephanie S.’s last blog post..<a href="http://andlifegoeson-andon.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-all-rage-on-facebook-25-random.html" rel="nofollow">It's all the rage on facebook, 25 Random Things</a></em></abbr> You couldn’t have said it better.

You are not over-reacting in the least. YOu've seen my dog---he's a little 20 lb pomeranian poodle. The issue is he doesn't know it. He for some reason feels he's a mini rotweiler. He is always on a leash outside of my fenced backyard. He listens to me very well but if he sees another dog or anything else he can chase, he's gone. These people who do not have their dogs on leashes can't seem to understand that while their dog may be friendly to other dogs, mine may not be. He loves humans, kids whatever---but other dogs -no. Like you I do not want vet bills and moreover I don't want my baby hurt! I don't care how well you think your dog is trained---he is an animal by nature (even though I'm sure mine is human) and they will get in fights over territory or trying to protect you. Another pet peeve is the people who for some reason don't have their dogs in their yards securely. Our neighbors a few houses down have these 2 big dogs and yes while they are friendly that doesn't mean I want to see them roaming up and down the street because they've gotten out of the yard again. Consequently I'm scared to take my little guy for a walk because I never know when those 2 have gotten out. My worst fear is them running up to me and jumping up, all while my dog is going beserk being his very male self. Truthfully it is so simple to follow the rules. Leash up your dog. If they're in your yard make sure that they are secured in there too if you don't have a proper fence. I get so angry when people just say phooey to it all---it makes it so much worse for those of us who do abide. Yup, I'm more than a little passionate on this subject too! <abbr><em>Darlene’s last blog post..<a href="http://peekingbetweenthepages.blogspot.com/2009/02/book-club-chat-with-kate-jacobs.html" rel="nofollow">Book Club Chat with Kate Jacobs</a></em></abbr> OMG—this is such a huge pet peeve of mine.
