“Sorry if this offends you; but, I will kick your dog!”
I know this sounds harsh, but if your untrained off leash dog comes charging me, barking and snarling then I’m sorry. But what choice do I have? I will kick your dog to protect me and my dogs.
This morning I had to deal with some off leash drama. The owner just stood there 20+ feet away and was trying to recall her dogs lol, while they were ignoring her and barking/charging us. I had to yell and charge back at them to get them to back off, but if that hadn’t worked. Believe me when I say, next I would of have kicked those dogs.
“I have a dream…” that one day we will live in a world where off leash dogs = extremely well trained dogs. Not the other way around!!! Why is it that people who can’t even train their dogs to walk on a leash properly think that it is a viable option to walk them off a leash!?! Why is it that they think that their dog will recall out of an extremely adrenalized situation when they probably never even practice recall in the first place!?!
I will never quite understand this reckless, lazy and disrespectful decision! In the past, a man told me after I told him that leash laws apply… he said, “that’s man’s law; God wants us all to be free!”
My response: if that is so, then why don’t you go to your closest forest and say, “Goodbye!” to Rover and set your dog free already!
I understand that we all want to just “let our dogs be dogs”; believe me, I get it! But we made a decision, we made a choice to domestic dogs and bring them into our unnatural, chaotic human world. It is our responsibility to teach our dogs how to cope with our world and then still just be dogs! It is not okay to justify your dogs bad behavior based on its “instincts”; you you know why not? Because it is simply your fault you have not taught them how to cope with their instincts and coexist in this human world. When you take 100% personal responsibility for your own dog’s behavior, instead of blaming other people, dogs or your own dog’s instincts that’s when you can start making improvements. It’s a “No Excuses” perception switch that will enable you to begin to improve and start succeeding.
As Jim Rohn would so wisely say: “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” End rant.
