Neighbers dog a danger

[milky25]

I live in flats on a estate in the next block there is a staff. if this dog is out with its owner and you go near it by near it i mean across the road. it goes mental barking and trying to get away from its owner. I dont think this is far for people who live here. and im sure staffs should not be so full of anger.

Right. Ok.

the other day my children was playing out back and i heard the dog going mental made my heart go thought he had 1 of my children. also should he be doing his mess in the garden that we all share. His owner picks the mess up. but i dont think the dog should be walked in a place wich we all share and play in

He picks up after it?
He walks it.... On a lead?

I fail to see what the owner is doing wrong here?

He has a staffy blackberry. That's what he is doing wrong. :)

So, he walks it and it barks and he picks up it's shit?

itds

ITSD

Leave the Staffy owning bastard

Aww I'm disappointed. Did anyone else misread the thread title as "neighbours dog a dancer"?

Bahahahaha! Shiirley is typing with her elbows again

Ah, that would have been interesting

How's he supposed to walk the dog if he can't take it through the garden to get out?

I'm not sure I should bother answering the rest, because I am fairly certain there is something not quite right here, but in the interest of giving the benefit of doubt...

It could well be something as simple as boundary guarding. Lots of dogs do it, they're not dangerous. If the dog got away he is more likely to stand ground and bark at you than he is to charge and attack. Dog attacks are rare, which is why they make the headlines. If they happened as often as the Daily Fail would have us believe, no-one would bother reporting on it because it wouldn't be so newsworthy anymore.

If you are concerned call the local dog warden who will be able to pop out and advise the owner on how to train/control his dog better.

I am bit confused as to why you would allow your children to play out of sight when you are so convinced you are living close to a dangerous dog?

"I thought he had one of my children"

Leaps after Shiirley

I'm probably not allowed to say this, but milky25 welcome to mumsnet!!

What exactly is your problem ,he sounds like a perfectly responsible owner . And by the way dogs bark to communicate not because they are dangerous.

Blackberry you seem to be acting as a one person welcome committee the last few days! Didn't you welcome our lovely WOHM basher the other day?

I was also wondering why on earth a sensible person would let their children out of sight if they thought such a dangerous dog was on the loose?

Yes, I'm like a 'gamesmaker'... Shaking my pom poms, waving them all in,regardless!

does the dog have grey fur - will no one think of the children ...etc etc

Are you wearing a nice scarf and offering Pom Bears?

Maybe it needs counselling.

does it roar like a T Rex?

poor dog was probably dumped in dog nursery and raised by strangers - give it a cuddle
