Hi again.
It wouldnt matter if your dog's displayed friindly body languaqe if another dog is fear aggressive of dogs anyway
Midori's second paragrpah was what i meant.
However, if she approached your off lead dogs with her on lead dog, then that does change things.
Especially as she took it somewhere where dogs are mainly off-lead.
As its not her dog, i would guess she doesn't know him very well?
The your word against theirs bit was referring to the issue that, if they wanted to be awkward buggers, they could argue their dog was on lead and yours off-lead, hence their dogs 'technically' fitsd the legal defintion of 'under control'
Obviously, your friend acting as witness does help, but that would be complicated by the fact her dog did the same as you, so the same argument could go her way as well, making her partial.
However, no procescution under the Dangerous Dogs Act is likely, as that only covers dog on people aggression, unless, of course, you felt endagered intervening between the dogs.
But you ar right, no authorities are likely to take it that far anyway.
Good idea that you contacted the Dog Warden, they can monitor the situation and give advice if needs be.
You have made good judgement leaving it at that
Re the other incident over the akita (which we dont know was done by the same dog), I too was surprised an Akita came off worse!
