Dogs just don't seem to like her :(

My poor Codee, again taken down by a dog who took against her... Its the fourth time this has happened and to be honest I am so upset by it, that I am considering keeping her onlead until we move next year... I don't want to really as that is not fair to her, she loves running but I hate seeing her so shaken...
The first time she was attacked he caught her throat and she has a little scar on her throat near where her collar sits. The next time another dog saw her running like a loon, as she does and just bowled and pinned her down, the owners in all fairness told their dogs' off... but last sunday, she was minding her business in the field chasing birds with Honey, when a dog came from no-where and pinned her growling at her, I was calm, but called the owner to get her dog off mine, Codee is crying by this time, which is making dog growl more, owner laughs and tells me not to be silly... This dog is huge, mine is only 25kg- a small Pointer... finally she got her dog on a lead... Today out in the rain, a lovely walk, Codee running after birds and squirrels when another huge dog, same breed as the last, chases her and pins her and Codee just cries, submits, but the dog won't let her go... thankfully owner was on the ball this time... until 10 mins later when we meet up again and the dog repeats the performance...
Poor Codee, she is a lovely girl and rarely approaches other dogs, her recall is 95% effective and she minds her own business on runs, chases birds/squirrels etc... But these dogs are really knocking her confidence... they never seem to go after Honey(not that I want them to), just Codee....

I have had problems like this with Mollie over the years we think it may be because she tends to stare at dogs as they approach (something of the collie in her we think). Not sure what the answer is really we just tend to allow her to play with dogs she knows and we have experience with.

How horrible for you, no wonder you are upset.

If it was me, I would stick her on the lead when you see a dog. Hopefully the other owner will spot this and either do the same or make sure their dog is under control. Then you can control the meetings and be able to spot any problems before they start. She will also know that she can look to you to keep her safe.
She is still young and maybe it is a phase that will pass as she gets more mature.

Good luck hun x

I used to have a problem like this when Snorri-dog was a pup. One of the village dogs used to attack him (even on-lead!). I solved it by going on the walk wearing boots with steel toecaps. Out came the attacker and it went for Snorri - so I kicked it on the head, in front of its owner, till it went away, blood coming from its ear. The next time it attacked was in the local showring, in front of hundreds of witnesses, so I did the same again, to rapturous applause.

(I don't take no s*"t from no dog!)

They used to show a dog with this sort of temperament?!!

Aw poor Mollie Codee doesn't even look at them, she minds her business, too interested in birds and running...
Thanks Lorna If I see dogs I always call her back, give her a treat etc... but these incidents have been when she is off running and the dogs have literally come from nowhere (if you get what I mean?) It has really shaken her this time... but I will be getting her out and off again, she is not at fault and to keep her onlead will be punishing her really, will just have to be extra viglilent!!
Wow! Not sure toe caps are my thing really... but I might just carry a very large stick in the future!! No-one messes with my Baubee gang!!

Ah poor Codee, no dog deserves such violence certainly not such a sweetie as I'm sure she is. Keeping her on-lead til you move when you're not around dogs you know. Whatever you do hope all your gang stays strong and Codee doesn't take any backward steps in her socialisation.

Oh bless her, not beautiful Codee!!
Ivan generally brings out this reaction from dogs as he is so eager to play and so big he just frightens them.
Oh I hope that this doesn't set her back. How awful having to keep her on lead when she is doing nothing wrong, but I can understand totally why you would want to do it, I would probably do the same TBH xx

We used to have the same with Skye when she was young, everytime she ran after a ball....some dog would attack her.

I think its because they are young and bouncy it seems to trigger something.

Skye was lucky we got Bruce....he soon became her big brother

Poor Codee
