Ever met a pleasant dog walker ?

[steveR]

Yeah, we get loads of 'em here and the majority are perfectly pleasant. It's just one or two of their dogs that can be a problem

We're about to get a sh!t load more of 'em too ...

...had the landlord and the local council here last week and they want to put another footpath in to link up with two more that we already have in order 'to enhance the local walking experience'.

Watch this space

Ask him to fence it then...

See any Fuch ing dogs out here n they’ll get shot . . .

dog walkers as such are not an issue for us ( although stray domestic & feral wild dogs are a big problem ), plenty of parks n footpaths & places to walk dogs in town, no need to come out here

In Australia you have 1 very big incentive for dog owners not to let their precious pooches off the lead - a lage variety of poisonous reptiles and
other wild life. In Britain we only have adders and they tend to live on heathlands.

Do your Councils or local government have “dog catchers”, or fine people for loose dogs, unchipped ( micro chip ) dogs, etc etc ?
We have a dog catcher ( every local government / local Council area in Australia does ) & we impound unrestrained dogs, that owners have to pay a fine to release. Otherwise, they are not long for this world . . .
As for dogs attacking livestock, other dogs or people - our police have the power ( & they use it ) to shoot or otherwise dispatch them

Yes, we have all that.

My place is fairly rural, rural enough that you can't hear traffic and there are no streetlights for at least 2 miles.
I'd say if you measured out a square mile with mine in the middle that dogs outnumber people by more than 3 to 1, I don't have a dog.

Britain lacks quite a bit of land owned by the "state". Its mostly owned by somebody, and that somebody seldom likes others traipsing about on it.

Agreed we don't have land "owned by the state", but I'd argue that 140,000 miles of public access on a small island in the form of footpaths, bridleways and BOATs is more than enough for people to get some fresh air.

If you want to do more than go from A to B, we have public parks in every town & city and a foreshore with lots of public access.

I live right on the junction of a bridleway and a footpath, a mile by road from the nearest public road and 3/4 of a mile from the public road on foot.

Lockdowns were chaos, with every d!ckhead and his wife wandering about at all hours (with and without dogs), gawping down at their phones, completely oblivious of other traffic. Thankfully things are now back to normal.

Yes, nice fella in the village, carries his Jack Russel when walking past stock and pulls up a few ragwort and thistles.

Had to ask a Lady with a Doberman to put it on lead in our garden as we have a little one playing, “oh it’s very friendly” was the reply, followed by “its not law to put it on a lead”..!

Honestly could not believe her reply, in that situation there really isn’t an argument, or so I thought...

One of the many nice aspects of spending time in france is you don't get those tossers walking around .

Blimey who wouldnt put a doberman on a lead with a child close by, had a friend who had one that was very friendly but could flatten an adult while being friendly. I think that lady would have been in no misunderstanding if she had said that to me.

Mental bast4ards . zero tolerance here , fuk em

Dogs & their owners should be on leads.Notices abound about "ground nesting birds" but they choose not to abide by this simple request,hence skylarks,lapwings & the game birds suffer from this behaviour.

Saw her again this morning, no lead in sight! Its funny i've never met a dog owner that says, "ooo you better watch this one, it''ll have you"

 

[Netherfield]

I'm a very pleasant dog walker.

 

[shelly reynolds]

I went to visit an employer, to check his insurance details at his house (he kept fobbing me off and promising to send them), anyway, he locked his Rottie in the kitchen while I was there. It burst out of the kitchen, and he caught it in mid air and returned it there. I asked would it have bitten me, he replied, it would have killed you. I said, yes, joking apart, would it have bitten me. He said, I was not joking!! And he had employees without any insurance either!

There are plenty of dogs like that out their, but they’re not often loose on a footpath. My request for the Doberman to be on lead was quite reasonable in my opinion, as if for a split second it thought my boy was a chew teddy, it would have killed him make no mistake! Too which ”I’m sorry” doesn’t quite cut it does it...

Just some I'm understanding, this random member of the public had their dog off the lead in your garden near your child?

Yeah, we do have land owned by the state. The single largest landowner in the UK is the Forestry Commission with 2.2 million acres, then you've got MoD with 750,000 acres.

Footpath is through our garden, we were in garden. I saw here coming with dog off lead, I approached with my child in a safe place a distance away with my wife, and asked calmly for the dog to be on a lead when in our garden as I have a small child and he will be playing outside in the summer months.
