I quite agree with this-I reported someone to the police who shouted at me in the street outside her house as she said Parker had weed on her gatepost (he hadn't -he was on the other side of the path-it was someone else's dog) She was very rude and I didn't see why she should get away with talking to innocent people like this. If she did it to the wrong person she could get attacked. The police went round and spoke to her and said she wouldn't be bothering me again.

Funnily enough I wasn't scared. To be honest he looked liked a really nice young guy and I thought he was maybe trying to show of to his girlfriend, although if I had been his girlfriend I wouldn't have been at all impressed with his behaviour. Lana didn't bother either so she mustn't have thought he was a threat because she's very protective of me.... well she is when it's dogs but if she had even been scared she would have been barking at him whereas she didn't bother her backside.

I've never yet spotted them coming, I never notice the dog until it's right there beside us. I laughed in sheer disbelief when he first said it was my fault and although I argued and kept repeating that it was his responsibility to train his dog and keep it safe he wasn't having it at all. I've told everyone in the park this week about him though

I haven't seen the girl with the dog this week so maybe they've decided to stay clear for a while.
I'll keep an eye out for him next Sunday but won't be running away from him, he's got my back up too much for that, but if I see him in the distance I'll phone my son to come down or maybe my son will come with me and lurk somewhere to see if they guy turns up. I think a warning from my son will be enough to stop the guy, in fact I think it will probably frighten the life out of him I did have some others saying I should call the police but I think I'll leave it to my son first.

If I was a bloke or even someone with a bigger dog I doubt very much if he would have said anything. I know I should walk the other way if I see them coming but that would feel too much like running away haha and so I probably won't. I would hope that the next time they come to the park they will walk the other way and avoid me.

There's no shame in walking away from someone like that. Would you really expect your son to sort him out for you rather than call the police? Suppose your son gets into a fight and gets arrested or hurt.............or worse?

The guy doesn't come across a fighter even though he tried to intimidate me. My son won't get into a fight with him, he's actually pretty good at calming things down. He'll just be warning him not to talk to me like that and ask what the problem is and probably explain where the guys going wrong with his thinking. And yes I would much rather my son sort it than call the police. Some of the police can be pretty agressive and can stir things up more than settle things so at this stage I don't really want to involve them. If it can't be sorted amicably then I'll see.

How does the dog pass the balls?

Maybe they should think of muzzling their dog rather than trying to make others stuffer. My neighbours dog eats stones etc when out walks so she muzzles her. Doesn't go complaining to the council because there is stones on pavements that dogs can eat

These types only have a go at women or people they think won't react, they wouldn't dream of doing it to another bloke, they are bullies
