Just remember how it got to me with the teenagers tormenting my dog every time I poked my nose out of the door, or walked down the street even at stupid o'clock which went on (still is.....) for 2 years! I became a hermit and my dog hardly ever went out - which wasn't so bad as it happens as removal from his stressors has now resulted in a chilled-out dog who yesterday didn't react at all when they started their usual tricks..... I am meeting more and more sensible people with nice sensible dogs and Merlin's made more new doggy friends in the last 2 weeks than he has in the last 3 years.
Going back and reclaiming the park has made me more friends.... and got me plenty of backup if they start their harassment again. Word gets around, but it won't if you don't get there to spread it....
I know in London it's hard to make new friends sometimes (lived there 18+yrs myself! plus born & bred) but if you can find some people with dogs that yours get on with, there's safety in numbers - and you may not be the ONLY person this horrible excuse for a human being has been abusive and nasty to!
Don't let it affect you or your lovely lads!

I honestly think it is the weather bringing these people out. Hopefully they will crawl back in their holes soon.

I live in London, and Luchi & I have suffered our fair share of crapness. Luckily it seems to roll of Luchi like water off a dogs back (sorry I meant duck) lol.
Bottom line, don't be intimidated, but still, find a place you can go in peace.
Not sure where you are, but you are welcome to join us on the Kent/London borders for a walk. Can't guarantee there will not be some nutters, but mostly there aren't,
Hope you feel better, you have your gorgeous dogs.
f*** the rest of the mad people. They will never go away. unfortunately

Don't let this silly old cow stop you walking where you want to. At least you also have nice people where you are and someone came to help you. Where I live, in Elmdon Park if you were to fall over, there are a lot of people who would stand and watch you struggle. Although at the airport fields which back onto Sheldon Country Park, practically everyone would help.
Hopefully the lab owner realised what had happened and will put this woman right. Although people like that don't listen to anyone. She's most likely at home now spouting crap about what really happened today making out that you and your boys were in the wrong.
Ignore her and others like her. You walk where you and your boys enjoy walking. Sod everyone else!
