first and hopefully only of these but am I being unreasonable - now I understand all pov view here but bear with me.
I have 2 dogs GSD is on his guard at the mo as other dogs keep coming into the graden - he is protective over what he sees as his territory iycwim. one neighbour has a puppy - they get on fine playing up and down the fence/puppy hasn't been into the garden yet however is digging some holes near it. (we intend to put wood down along the bottom so puppy can't come into our garden - I don't want to have any mishaps on any fronts.)
man tonight trys to stroke GSD - GSD is weary of people - not something we've brought out/done etc wasn't a rescue dog he just needs to take his time etc - he comes to you for sniffing etc he doesn't like hands going over the nose for example rather under the nose. anyhow I gave the man some cheese, GSD was happily accepting the cheese/giving paw etc and letting him have a stroke. man says we'll ahve to let the dogs play etc but if your dog goes for mine i'll raise my hand (man then went and raised his hands as if he would hit my dog) anyhow - I quite clearly said and stated.
I would rather wait until my DH was home before we attempt anything like that AND it would be better done not in my garden. now I understand he wants to prevent any mishaps and for the dogs to play nicely. he says i've seen your dog - WTF does that mean he might have seen him BUT my dog has had 2 other dogs come into the garden and attack him so how much of that is his fault iycwim. anyhow, after man gives dog the cheese etc we carry on talking and man says i'm happy to put pup over fence now - Que me i'd rather wait- man no i'll come round (now i'm home alone with 2 dogs and a baby asleep)
anyhow he lifts the pup over- I have GSD on a lead GSD went as if to bite however did not - GSD was told off. other dog was fine had a snif and was fine. man put pup down and gsd carried on playing with pup up and down the fence.
now I know this is long but am I unreasonable? I clearly said no and the man forced the issue I felt bullied almost into him putting his pup over even thou i'd said no. I am more than willing to pay for the fence, hell i'm more than willing for us to tlak the dogs etc together BUT I am not prepared for any of this to happen until my DH is there with me esp as I ahve a baby asleep upstairs. the man was pushing the issues when with our GSD he has to get used to things slowly iycwim. should I have just said oh yes mr man let you dog into my aarden and then i'll let you just beat my dog up if he lokos at yours in the wrong mattor.
don't get me wrong I understand that he obv doesn't want his dog hurt etc but why the need to push the issue - also to that end what would give him the right to hit my dog??
i'm not wanting a fight here but I feel I don't know really rather annoyed that he didn't listen to me saying no and the thought that he will harm my dog.
