Benny sees this as his life goal…he’s totally oblivious to goading, barking and general dick behaviour, but if I am out with my sister and her older Lab. Then he takes it upon himself to act as the chaperone / bouncer to any other dog that act aggressively towards her Lab. same thing with my mates Greyhound, we were in Salcombe with my sister and a larger black lab (full male) was off the lead and bothering my sisters elderly Lab. Benny steamed in and just stood between the two of them, fronting down the black lab…eventually after just a stare down it turned around and walked off. If we were on our own, I am pretty sure he would not have even noticed the other dog.

Anyone need a dog? We've found a spare.

If I had some spare I would.
A local shop owner’s schnoodle has a tweed jacket.

Can anyone guess where the underfloor heating pipes start ?

Got Bosco in his pimp coat last night.
If i forgo the harness and walk him on his collar, he (begrudgingly) walks.

Q1 : Can Barry's owner reliably recall Barry?
Q2: Is Barry's owner always going to be keeping an eye out for Owen?
Q3: Is there another park nearby? -

Took ours to the vet today for a vaccination. They told us we need to brush her teeth more (more than none is a low bar), they said the best thing to use is one of the brushes that goes on the end of your finger and to use tooth paste that tastes like dog treats. That sounds like a recipe for getting chomped IMO.

When Barry is 'attacking' which is all he wants to do when he see's Owen, there is absolutely no possibility of recall.
He should be, but who knows.
Yes, but I prefer this one.

I've done similar with Bailey. But not kept it up. I hope that chewing all the dead animal parts helps.

I think you'll have to wrestle Barry's owner for the right to walk your dog in the park.
I've checked the bye-laws, and it's in paragraph 4 on page 7 of "owning a dog in London - 3rd edition (2024)".What's left is for someone to run a book and sell tickets.

It does seem like it's going this way. I reckon I've got this.

If you've got each others numbers now, can you not just do a quick "is your cunt dog in the park" message, or an "I'm taking my cunt dog to the park" message from him to avoid overlap?
-

Even a little rota and a message if you need to change things doesn't seem too hard.

We could do, but I really do resent the idea that he won't just agree to put his dog on a lead when he sees us. It's not a case of 'our dogs don't get on, maybe best if we avoid each other' - Owen has never shown any aggression towards or interest in Barry. I really want him to accept that as the owner of the ridiculously aggressive dog he has a responsibility to keep it under control. I appreciate that your suggestion is more practical and I should probably just take the path of least resistance.
But I think I want to wrestle now.

Unfortunately, I think snots is the best option.
-

100% he should be doing that anyway if accidents happen, but a bit of organising can hopefully avoid having to see cunt owner or cunt dog.

Snots option covers the "he might not be aware of you coming into the park and then Barry goes radge" scenario.

We have a 3 month old and my wife often walks Owen in the day with the baby. It has to be flexible around naps and whatever other randomness the baby throws at her. She can't commit to a rota and doesn't want to have to be messaging cuntyboy every time she wants to take Owen for a walk. Seriously, is it that unreasonable to expect owner of weirdly aggressive dog to put him on a lead when he sees the dog he is seemingly obsessively aggressive towards?

He should have Barry on lead until he's a decent distance from the park entrance.
Anyway, I do appreciate I could be more pragmatic, but it is just so annoying. I would be mortified if Owen was doing this, he'd be in a muzzle immediately, I'd be seeking help from trainers/behaviourists and I'd be beyond apologetic to the target of his aggression. To be told that it's unfair on Barry to put him on a lead when they see us in the park and we need to find another solution is boiling my piss. As you can tell.
Anyway, rant over, thanks for listening.

Not at all, but maybe he'd be easier to convince with a way of avoiding having to do so in the first place. Maybe if you or your wife can spot the cunt first on walks you can hang back, call his phone and say "hi cunt, I'm about to walk past you, will you grab cuntdog before I do to avoid any hassle?"

Keep this and throw it at Barry.

I mean, sure, but I'm quite happy to wait with Owen on lead until he clocks us and just pops Barry on lead. This is what I proposed, and to which his response was basically 'no, that's unfair on Barry'. I'm not entirely sure what the phonecall would do to change his position....
