I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

Wouldn't throw boiling piss at Barry, he is just a dog. His owner, on the other hand....

Hopefully something workable can get sorted on Sunday(you did say you were chatting about it properly then, right?). Might be easier to talk rationally when neither of you are dealing with the cuntdog or consequences.

Hopefully.

I'm just sad the fucking image i'm trying to post won't show.

But defo call the guy "cuntdog owner" in your phone.

Has this been resolved yet?

I mean, you have to ask.

Swift boot as the offending dog races towards you. See what kind of range you can get.

Once the range (and possibly altitude) have been benchmarked, it's time to start training. A period of interval work on a turbo, with squats using weights, could lead to significant performance gains. Could this be recorded on Strava?

@DethBeard, has it occurred to you that Bosco is a terrier and refuses to leave the house dressed like that in case his mates see him?

Film any incidents on your phone and report the cunt to the police and local council dog warden. Tell the owner their dog will get put down if it continues to be out of control (not sure if true) which should at least get them to responsibly avoid you.

Need to get a racing muzzle but just got this off marketplace in the hope it will exhaust the dickhead.

Police won't give a fuck with dog on dog aggro. Dog on human, they'll get involved as long as you've done all the investigation and hard work for them. That's as long as they don't have to put their kebab or cuppa down.

That’s a shame but I still think the threat of being reported and having your cuntish behaviour filmed could affect change, even if it’s just the owner avoiding you when you cross paths.

Is Barry a cunt to other dogs?

As a newbie to dog ownership I do find it interesting notion that dogs can’t just be cunts.

Since our paths overlap I’m glad I’ve not met Barry. Only thing I can think of is Barry’s owner seems lazy and reluctant, this needs to be exploited somehow by making his current routine unmanageable so they go elsewhere? Di you only ever cross paths in one place?

Anecdotally, I've heard of him being obsessively humpy with a friend's female lurcher, to the extent that she now avoids them in the park when she sees them. But, I've certainly never seen his wildly monomaniacal aggression towards any other dogs, and the owner did say that this had never happened before etc.

But yeah, I think I agree with you - and if my sense of the owner is correct what might be best is to try to make it embarrassing for him - so letting Barry pop off whilst leashed around other dogs/owners etc. It is pretty wild to see and I think a few instances of that should hopefully incentivise owner to seek other parks (of which there are plenty around us).

Does Barry’s owner have a brain

Worth bearing in mind that you're meant to declare dog aggression when insuring your dog, so while formal complaints about Barry will almost certainly achieve nothing, they'll definitely make life more complicated if he's insured. Plus if you had to claim against him for vet's bills it would leave him uninsured, etc - might be worth pointing this out.

But would also be inclined just to give him good kick.

Rather than a kick, can you possibly carry something incredibly unpleasant but not lethal?

So, at the risk of scaring other dogs a foghorn in a can might be too much, but some kind of snap-caps or loud horn or even use a dog whistle to break the attention (if possible).

I’d ideally want to give the two dogs space at 100yd on-lead, and move them closer each time the cunt is calm. Try to break the cycle of insta-kill. If it’s not reinforced and made safe, I’d definitely try some kind of water-based deterrent to shock but not injure the cunt.

I've offered a number of times now to help with some structured desensitisation/training, but the owner shows no interest. I think his preferred outcome is I agree to avoid the park when he's there, but that's just not happening.

Owen is a bit pathetic, I think if I got out an airhorn it would have far more impact on him than the cunt! 😂 Water is an interesting option, might be worth exploring actually.

Or boiled piss

The worst that can happen is it redirects his aggression toward the water /you... I wonder if you are happy with that.

There are supersoaker type things that are battery powered. I would consider something like that if nothing else because it's easy to carry and might give enough momentary distraction. But I would definitely consider things like the peppermint type options that leave the dog thinking "yuck" more than "ouch".

Not suggesting a really hard kick obviously. But it seems like you're tried all the nice, reasonable approaches. I feel like a terrier in a rage is likely to ignore water pistols, etc. A firm pinning down by the neck would be better than a kick, but also more chance of you getting a bite that way.

Yea I was just trying to think of anything that avoids being caught in a police interview for damage to someone else’s property (“so you admit you kicked that dog? That dog is undergoing 6 hours surgery, and you’re liable.”)

Yeah, I'm not going to kick Barry. That is not something I'd be comfortable with. I quite like the idea of throwing a decent quantity of water over him, to shock him out of his rage, but don't really want to carrying a large bottle of water about on the off chance we meet him. I also think more than likely he'd totally ignore it and I'd have missed my chance to grab him before he reached Owen.

One of our bomb detecting dog handlers used to have a job issue rope leash*, probably 12mm thick, which he would always carry when the dog was running free (free time, not detecting). If his dog was getting fixated on another dog or any wildlife** he would tell him to leave. If that didn't work and he was close enough he'd throw the leash at his dog or the other dog. It was enough to flick the switch off.
*He would have it tied up like a hangman's knot so it had some mass and didn't whip about.
** Once during the daily early morning search around the Olympic rowing lake at Dorney Alfie, his German Wirehaired Pointer, sprinted away and dived into the lake and caught and killed a bird. Too far away to throw the leash though. I heard from one source it was a grebe but I think a coot was more likely. I suspect we'll never know as both dog and handler are now living on that lovely farm in Wales.
