That's what the foot is for, a big kick at the dog to get ride of it.
I walk my dog in different places. Staffordshire bull terrier, I dress like a chav so get the looks anyway. My dog I know wouldn't hurt anyone. Lick them to death maybe but she doesn't have a aggressive bone in her.
That said though if I'm in or near a crowd she's on her lead. If I'm out of the way then she's left loose. But, if we come across other people or dogs she's straight back on her lead.
The breed and the way I dress can be stereotyped. I make sure I don't look irresponsible in any way and that neither my dog or anyone around can be intimated or feel threatened by me and my dog been there.
A neighbour of mine has a Jack Russell, (ex working dog) so not bothered about people or anything other than digging and rats. Now though at 10 years old he doesn't bother with anything or anyone. He was walking him on our local field and because he wasn't on his lead and someone wanted to be funny my neighbour was stopped and arrested for having a dangerous dog not on its lead in a public place! You have to tread very carefully these days. More so with certain breeds than others because of other people and the bad names some breeds have.

Yeah that's what most people think/say. If you seen the dog yourself you'd know he's far from dangerous. He's in court for it though but there's no way it will stick.
Honestly people these days aren't happy unless they're causing misery and upset in other people's lives. Always someone there to spoil others fun.

Had the same experience last year with my 5yr old running around in a public park. Big Alsatian came bounding over barking aggressively, had to sprint to picked her up and face off with the dog and young chap owner. Owner swearing at me etc for telling him to control his dog. It's some idiot owners that are the problem. Dogs are just being dogs.
where did my comment get to ? Vanished.
anyway, it was along lines of
jack russel bloody nuisance, not dangerous.
Magistrates can be soppy, any result possible in court
proper judge would probably throw such a case out as being nonsense
unless there is something more to it that we arent being told ??
yes I like staffies, most are lovely, even when some of the owners arent

That dog licking lolly business, sort of thing happens from time to time, its all down to how the humans react. Shouldnt degenerate into a row, so easy for one party to over-react and set the other off with no-one backing down. Any hint of anxiety usually gets transferred to everyone, the dog can smell it, most of us feel it somehow.
Most dogs very friendly, we wouldnt love them as we do if they werent.
I had a non-incident recently when a silly woman had a go at me, gonna report you etc, all because my one dog told off the biggest of her three dogs that were hassling her. No bits, no fur flying, no blood, just noise. Normal dog behaviour.
3:1 usually causes a reaction in dogs and people.
My dog often trots up to people especially grannies, she knows whos good for a treat.
