Wow I can see how you have no problems with your own dogs rudness if you have such low standards for acceptable dog behaviour
But at the end of the day Ben your dog was not bitten or injured? I accept that your arms were bruised and bleeding, but boxers are at the best of times bruisers, this one clearly needs some serious training, but if he were mine I certainly would not clap him in chains!

Not a load of tosh at all.
What you post actually proves that dogs can and are wrong sometimes about who to trust.

My work colleague has a sister with an exuberant, friendly, Old English Sheepdog. It was being walked on the common one morning when it decided to go and bounce at some children. It knocked one small child over and the child hit its head on a stone and had to be taken to hospital
They were very scared and were waiting a knock on the door from the police last I heard. Not the sort of incident anyone of us would want our dogs to be involved in yet could so easily happen if dogs are not kept "under control".
How I understand it the owner could be open to coming under the "dangerous dogs act" and yet her dog is friendly and has not bitten anyone.

So its OK for the dog to keep doing it UNTIL someone gets seriously hurt? Also a dog who is attacked can go on and have agression issues or become nervous

A RESPONSIBLE dog owner should clap their dog in chains until they can train an acceptable greeting

I stand my original statement, that your mum must be a jolly good sort to provoke that reaction in dogs ... even if she doesn't like dogs.

She doesn't wrap herself in cotton wool but does try and take care. I would be one angry person if she was hurt by out of control dogs. It could all be avoided if owners like you took more responsibility for their dogs.
